Abstract
Embodiments for providing global inline name space verification for a distributed file system in a network of a metadata server coupled to a plurality of data servers by taking a global dataless snapshot of a namespace of the distributed file system; walking all of the files in the namespace for each data server and the metadata server to generate parsed information; combining, by an XOR operation, the parsed information into data blocks for each server; obtaining a checksum of each data block of the data blocks; comparing actual and expected checksums from the metadata server and all of the data servers; and generating an alert if a comparison of any actual and expected checksums do not match.
