Abstract
A method and a system for execution of disconnection from and reconnection to persistent handles are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: generating a file handle, responsive to a file connect request sent by a client to a distributed file system, wherein the handle has a handle identifier; associating a reconnect identifier with the handle identifier, wherein the reconnect identifier is indicative of a most recent connect attempt made using the respective handle identifier at a respective request; sending a disconnect request responsive to a disconnection, wherein the disconnect request is sent with a reconnect identifier indicative of a connection prior to the disconnection; updating the reconnect identifier, responsive to a reconnect request associated with said handle identifier; and approving the disconnect request only in a case that the reconnect identifier of the disconnect request is identical to the reconnect identifier of the reconnect request.
