Abstract

A containment mechanism provides for the grouping and isolation of multiple processes running on a single computer using a single instance of the operating system. A system is divided into one or more side-by-side and/or nested spaces enabling the partitioning and controlled sharing of resources by creating different views of hierarchical name spaces by creating a new branch of an existing global system name space or by linking the sub-root level nodes of a new hierarchy to a subset of nodes in an existing global system name space.
