Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for keeping a file system client in a read-only name space of the file system includes a system management component which sends 'create' calls in response to mount 'commands'. The apparatus includes at least a first disk element in communication with the system management component which receives the 'create' calls and creates mount points in the read only name space in response to the mount 'commands'. A method for keeping a file system client in a read-only name space of the file system includes the steps of creating a context mount point in an existing unit of a file system, where the unit is preferably VFS, in the read-only name space. There is the step of adding a new VFS to the name space at the mount point to the existing VFS.
