Abstract: An apparatus includes a processing device configured to identify and determine prioritizations of file systems to be mounted on a destination storage node, the prioritization for a given file system being based at least in part on a static priority assigned to the given file system, a dynamic priority value calculated for the given file system, and a predicted input-output load for the given file system. The at least one processing device is also configured to determine a system performance of the destination storage node, to generate a schedule for execution of mount operations for the file systems on the destination storage node based at least in part on (i) the determined prioritizations of the file systems and (ii) the determined system performance of the destination storage node, and to execute the mount operations for the file systems on the destination storage node in accordance with the generated schedule.
