Abstract
A context-based file system (CBFS) receives a request to perform an operation in a hierarchy of directories from a virtual host running on a node in a storage server, the hierarchy having a parent-child relationship and a root directory. An identifier is obtained for the virtual host from an operating system. A directory associated with the virtual host is selected from the hierarchy based on a type of the operation and a position of the directory in the hierarchy. A result is received as a result of performing the operation on the selected directory.
