Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for optimizing multiple files in an efficient format that allows maintenance of the original namespace. Multiple files and associated metadata are written to a suitcase file. The suitcase file includes index information for accessing compressed data associated with compacted files. A hardlink to the suitcase file includes an index number used to access the appropriate index information. A simulated link to a particular file maintains the name of the particular file prior to compaction.
