ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of a system and method for enabling multiple computers to mount a file system are described herein. The file system may be mounted on one computer, and a snapshot copy of the file system may be created and mounted on a second computer. Data for a particular file in the file system may be stored at particular storage locations on a storage device. In response to a read request to access data for the particular file through the file system, the data stored at the particular storage locations may be read and returned. Similarly, in response to a read request to access data for the particular file through the snapshot copy of the file system, the data stored at the particular storage locations may be read and returned.
