Abstract

The embodiments described herein relate to synchronization of data in a shared pool of configurable computer resources. One or more consistency points are created in a source filesystem. A first consistency point is compared with a second consistency point to detect a directory change at the source filesystem, which includes identifying at least one difference between the first and second consistency points. A file level change associated with an established directory at a target filesystem is identified responsive to the detection of the directory change. A link is established between the source filesystem and the target filesystem, and the established directory is updated based on the file level change.
