Abstract
A storage server maintains an active file system and at least one read-only, persistent point-in-time image (RPPI) of the active file system. The booting time of the storage server is reduced by delaying the mounting of the RPPI(s) until the storage server receives a request to access a corresponding RPPI after the storage server has already booted.
