Methods for seamless storage importing and devices thereof
First Claim
1. A method for seamless storage import, the method comprising:
- importing, by a storage management computing device, file system structure entries stored in one or more storage devices;
obtaining, by the storage management computing device, a request for an operation on one of the file system structure entries in the one or more storage devices during the importing;
determining, by the storage management computing device, an import status of the requested one of the file system structure entries, wherein the import status comprises an indication of the existence in the one or more storage devices of all path and entry components for the obtained request;
processing, by the storage management computing device, the obtained request for an operation based on the determined import status of the requested one of the file system structure entries without interrupting the importing;
updating, by the storage management computing device, the requested one of the file system structure entries based on the processing; and
storing, by the storage management computing device, an aggregation of the imported file system structure entries with the updating of the requested one of the file system structure entries.

Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and device for seamless storage import includes importing file system structure entries stored in one or more storage devices. A request for an operation on one of the entries in the one or more storage devices is obtained during the importing. An import status of the requested one of the entries is determined. The obtained request is processed based on the determined import status of the requested one of the entries without interrupting the importing. The requested one of the entries is updated with the storage management computing device based on the processing. An aggregation of the imported entries with the updating of the requested one of the entries is stored.
