Abstract
A system can determine that a first destination inode number of a first destination inode of destination inodes is equal to a first source inode number of a file. The system can create a second file on the source file system, wherein the second file is stored in a second source inode of the source inodes having a second source inode number of the source inode numbers. The system can determine that the destination file system lacks an inode that has the second source inode number. The system can move a third file stored in the first destination inode to a second destination inode of the destination inodes that has a second destination inode number of the destination inode numbers. The system can migrate the first file to the destination file system, wherein the destination file system stores the first file with the first destination inode number.
