Abstract
A source node creates a file and a grouping tag for the file. The source node stores the grouping tag in a location in metadata for the file. When preparing for replication, the source node retrieves the grouping tag from the location in the metadata. If the legacy location in the metadata includes any value which was stored after the most recent replication involving the file, and the size of the legacy location in the metadata was changed after the most recent replication involving the file, then the system enables a destination node to store the grouping tag in the legacy location in the metadata by sending records comprising a request to replace a record stored at the legacy location in the metadata with a larger record, and combining the grouping tag with any value which changed the size of the metadata after a most recent replication involving the file.
