ABSTRACT:
A process by which a system moves an open file from one location to another, then closes the open file on the former open file system. This migration affects all open instances of the file system object so that the file descriptors shared between open files remain shared after the migration operation. The innovative system and method can be used to move individual open files or mounted file systems within a hierarchical file system. Processes accessing the open files are not interrupted.
