The invention is directed to a system and method of providing an accurate, consistent, and atomic view of a non-translational filesystem or a subset thereof, without explicit filesystem or file notification support for building an atomic view. A user-space algorithm is coupled with a file change notification kernel to identify changes to directories and objects within the directories in real-time so that the filesystem may remain atomically synchronized with any changes performed to the system, while avoiding a race hazard. When coupled with a file change notification system, the invention enables building of an atomic view of a filesystem in real-time, in user-space, and in memory.
