ABSTRACT:
A computer system having a shared disk file system running on multiple computers each having their own instance of an operating system and being coupled for parallel data sharing access to files residing on network attached shared disks. A metadata node manages file metadata for parallel read and write actions. Metadata tokens are used for controlled access to the metadata and initial selection and changing of the metadata node.
