Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for establishing a failover cluster in a distributed file system that upon the occurrence of failover event, allows clients to actively migrate during ongoing file system activity from a source cluster to a target cluster without having to unmount an NFS export from the source cluster and remount the NFS export on the target cluster. Upon the occurrence of a failover event, clients can be rerouted to a target cluster that contains mirrored copies of the data the client was expecting to be stored on the original source cluster. However, in attempting to access the data, without unmounting and remounting an export, the client will continue to reference source cluster FSID and LIN identifiers when making NFS calls to the target cluster. Thus, implementations are provided herein for translating the requests of an NFS client on a target cluster after a failover event has occurred.
