Consistent Entity Tags With Multiple Protocol Data Access

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, and from a device, a first request to perform a first object storage operation to read from an object according to an object storage protocol configured to read and modify data objects, the object corresponding to a first file of a file storage system;
• in response to the first request and to determining that the first file is not associated with a valid entity tag as a result of the first file having been created or modified via the file storage operation, generating, by the system, a first entity tag for the object;
• and
• in response to the receiving of the first request, sending, by the system, the object and the first entity tag to the device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, from a device, a first request to perform a first object storage operation to read from an object according to an object storage protocol configured to read and modify data objects, the object corresponding to a first file of a file storage system;
• in response to the first request and to determining that the first file is not associated with a valid entity tag as a result of the first file having been created or modified via the file storage operation, generating a first identification value for the object;
• and
• in response to the receiving of the first request, sending the object and the first identification value to the device.
