Abstract
Techniques are provided for inofile management and access control list file handle parity. For example, operations targeting a first storage object of a first node are replicated to a second storage object of a second node. A size of an inofile maintained by the second node is increased if an inode number to be allocated by the replication operation is greater than a current size of the inofile. Access control list file handle parity is achieved by maintaining parity between inode number and generation number pairings of the first node and the second node.
