A system for managing the storage of metadata includes a client device, a network, and two or more file system servers, including a first file system server and a second file system server. The first file system server is programmed to: receive a request for a file system object from the client device, in response to the request: make a determination that the second file system server is to manage the file system object, based on the determination, generate an index node (I-node), and send the I-node to the second file system server. The I-node includes an object type field corresponding to a type of the file system object, a server base index field corresponding to the second file system server, and a directory index field corresponding to an index in a file system object metadata of the second file system server.
