<p>A method for monitoring full performance of a file system (100) in the presence of a failure is provided. The file system having N storage devices (108), where N is an integer greater than zero and N primary file servers (104) where each file server is operatively connected to a corresponding storage device (110) for accessing files therein. The file system further having a secondary file server (104a) operatively connected to at least one of the N storage devices. The method including: switching the connection of one of the N storage devices to the secondary file server upon a failure of one of the N primary file servers; and switching the connections of one or more of the remaining storage devices to a primary file server other then the failed file server as necessary so as to prevent a loss in performance and to provide each storage device with an operating file server.</p> |
