Abstract
Various systems and methods use advisory metadata to track the status of file system objects. For example, one method can involve accessing a first item of advisory metadata, which is associated with a namespace-visible parent directory and identifies a first transaction and a first time, and accessing a second item of advisory metadata, which is also associated with the namespace-visible parent directory and identifies a second transaction and a second time. The namespace visible parent directory includes multiple namespace-hidden directories. The method can then select a time value of the advisory metadata for the namespace-visible parent directory, based upon the first item and the second item. The method can be performed by a computing device implementing a file system.
