Abstract
In a cluster of computing nodes having shared access to one or more file systems in data storage using parallel file system software, a method for managing the data storage includes initiating a session of a data management application on a first one of the nodes, while running a user application on a second one of the nodes. A request is submitted to the parallel file system software by the user application on the second node to mount one of the file systems in the data storage. A mount event message is sent from the second node to the first node responsive to the request, for processing by the data management application on the first node. When the file system is to be unmounted, preunmount and unmount events are sent for processing by the data management application on the first node.
