Abstract
Migration of information, comprising inode numbers, from source filesystem to destination filesystem can be performed and managed. Migrator component can partition inode subspace of destination filesystem into first inode subspace region, comprising first subgroup of inode slices, and second inode subspace region, comprising second subgroup of inode slices. Provisioner manager component can provision first inode slices of the first subgroup in a first order. Inode numbers associated with user files or directories contained in source slices of the source filesystem can be migrated to and allocated for corresponding first inode slices of the destination filesystem. Provisioner manager component can provision second inode slices of the second subgroup in a second order that can be different from the first order. Inodes associated with inode numbers associated with internal files or directories can be stored in the second inode slices. Source filesystem can be active during the migration process.
