A system and method for efficiently linking together replicas of a storage
object. The location of a first replica of the storage object may be
stored on a node in a network. When new replicas of the storage object
are created, the node that stores the new replica may efficiently lookup
the location of the first replica and utilize the location information to
perform an efficient process to link the new replica to the first replica
and any other existing replicas by causing routing information to be
created on various nodes.
