A method may include identifying a first file link referencing a file residing at a first computer system, and identifying, at the first computer system, a first inode data structure referenced by the first file link, the first inode data structure comprising a first link count. The method may also include creating a second inode data structure at a second computer system, wherein the second data structure comprises a second link count, and creating a second file link to reference the second inode data structure at the second computer system. The method may also include, responsive to determining that the first link count matches the second link count, migrating file data referenced by the first data structure to the second computer system.
