changes to the state or description of the file system, controls the regions of disks that are allocated
to each node, and controls token management and quota management.
fileset
A hierarchical grouping of files managed as a unit for balancing workload across a cluster. See also
dependent fileset, independent fileset.
fileset snapshot
A snapshot of an independent fileset plus all dependent filesets.
