Abstract
One embodiment provides a method for storage management in a hierarchical file system. The method includes tracking directories for sub-file systems of the hierarchical file system. A request for a unique directory in the hierarchical file system is received. The sub-file system of the hierarchical file system containing the unique directory is provided while ensuring that each directory resides in only one sub-file system. The system also maintains, in a top-file system, a corresponding directory and a symbolic pointer which points from the corresponding directory to a sub-file system where a given directory resides. Creation of new directories in sub-file systems also includes creation of corresponding directories in the top-file system and symbolic pointers from corresponding directory to new directory.
