Abstract

A system and method for efficiently linking together replicas of a storage object. The location of a first replica of the storage object may be stored on a node in a network. When new replicas of the storage object are created, the node that stores the new replica may efficiently lookup the location of the first replica and utilize the location information to perform an efficient process to link the new replica to the first replica and any other existing replicas by causing routing information to be created on various nodes.
