Abstract

A filesystem includes a pool of data blocks and a pool of index blocks. Non-overlapping subpools of data blocks, including a first subpool of data blocks and a second subpool of data blocks, are identified within the pool of data blocks. Likewise, non-overlapping subpools of index blocks, including a first subpool of index blocks and a second subpool of index blocks, are identified within the pool of index blocks. A first file group is mounted within a global namespace on a first mount point on the filesystem. A second file group is also mounted within the global namespace on a second mount point on the filesystem. The first subpool of data blocks and the first subpool of index blocks are allocated to the first mounted file group, and the second subpool of data blocks and the second subpool of index blocks are allocated to the second mounted file group.
