Zusammenfassung:	A system can migrate a source file system on a first computer to a destination file system on a second computer. The system can receive, at the second computer, a request from a client computer that indicates a file system operation, and that references a source file handle of the source file system that comprises an identifier of the source file system. The system can identify the destination file system based on the identifier of the source file system. The system can determine, from a source inode number of the source file handle, a source inode number segment. The system can determine, from the source inode number segment, a destination inode number segment. The system can determine, from the destination inode number segment, a destination inode number. The system can perform the file system operation on the destination file system using the destination inode number and the identifier of the destination file system.
