1. A method, comprising:

  • tracking frequency of ownership change and relocation of a memory record between nodes of a networked system, where each node executes a segment of a shared file system for managing a plurality of memory records;

    determining by a first file system segment of a first node that owns the memory record stored at a first memory, whether to change ownership of the memory record to a second node and relocate the memory record to a second memory of the second node;

    wherein relocation of the memory record is to make the memory record local to the second node for a type of use by the second node; and

    the change of ownership and the relocation is based on the tracked frequency of ownership and relocation, and a memory record type;

    providing remote access to the memory record from the first memory to the second node via a network, when it is determined not to change ownership and relocate the memory record; and

    changing ownership of the memory record and relocating the memory record via the network to the second memory of the second node for use by a second file system segment of the shared file system, when it is determined to change ownership and relocate the memory record;

    wherein the change of ownership and relocation of the memory record is delayed due to lack of capacity at the second memory of the second node.
