Abstract:
1. A method for performing pathname translation in a data replication system, the method comprising: processing a log entry from a log file associated with a source system with one or more computer processors, wherein the log entry identifies a data management operation associated with an inode wherein the inode is a child of one or more parent inodes; obtaining path data for the inode from a database associated with the data replication system comprising a first short inode name and a parent inode identifier associated with the one or more parent inodes; obtaining a second short inode name associated with the parent inode identifier from the database; constructing from at least the first and second short inode names, path data comprising an absolute pathname that corresponds to the inode; and storing the absolute pathname and the data management operation associated with the log entry on a destination system.
