Abstract
An illustrative method is disclosed for efficiently copying a source directory to a target directory. For example, the method may include receiving, by a storage system, a request to copy a source directory to a target directory; generating, by the storage system in response to the request, directory version metadata for the target directory; and mapping, by the storage system in response to the request, the target directory to metadata of the source directory such that the target directory reuses the metadata of the source directory within a target namespace identified by the directory version metadata for the target directory.
