Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems directed to improving shared file access in wide area network file systems. In a particular implementation, one or more elements of a wide area file system cooperate to keep an original file intact on a remote file server until a new copy of the same file is flushed to the remote file server. In a particular implementation, rename operations identifying a source and a target in connection with application-level save operations are executed as two composite operations including creation of the target, and a delayed deletion of the source. The delay after which the source is deleted can be configured to be just large enough so that the application save operation on a local cache can be completed.
