A primary write request that is to modify a primary portion of primary data stored in a primary storage node is received. The primary write request is to be replicated to create a current secondary write request. The current secondary write request is to modify a current secondary portion of secondary data that is stored in a secondary storage node. A current data range of the current secondary portion is determined. A determination is made of whether a previous secondary write request is in process of modifying a previous data range that at least partially overlaps with a current data range of the current secondary portion. Execution of the primary write request is suspended, until the previous secondary write request has completed updating the secondary storage node.
