Abstract

Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes transmitting, by a first node, an invalidation request to a second node to invalidate an entry of a storage location cache of the second node, the entry indicating a storage location to write data in response to a write request received by the first node; updating, by the first node, a memory structure at the first node for sending a heartbeat message to disable use of the storage location cache by the second node; and responding, by the first node, to the write request, after a response to disable the use of the storage location cache is received from the second node or a certain duration, T, has elapsed since the heartbeat message was sent to the second node and no response was received from the second node.
