System and method for cluster file system synchronization

A machine-readable medium storing program code which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:

• saving content of a cluster file system (CFS) archive to a CFS database;
• detecting a change made in the CFS database with respect to the CFS archive;
• comparing an index of the CFS database with an index of a local file system using a bootstrap associated with the local file system;
• and
• updating the local file system to reflect the change in the CFS database using the bootstrap associated with the local file system.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory to store:
• at least one instance of a software platform,
• a local file system of the at least one instance of the software platform, and
• a bootstrap for the at least one instance of the software platform, the bootstrap to update the local file system based on a change in a cluster file system (CFS) database;
• and
• the CFS database coupled to the memory, the CFS database to store information regarding at least one deployed CFS archive.
