Abstract
One example method presents a synthetic view of data stored by a shared device file system. The synthetic view provides a 'fictional' single namespace for data stored by the shared device file system. The method includes accepting a command to access data stored by the shared device file system. The command may be native to a user requesting the access. The command addresses the data stored by the shared device file system using the single namespace provided by the synthetic view. The method includes creating a replacement command(s) for accessing data stored by the shared device file system using one or more actual namespaces different from the single fictional namespace provided by the synthetic view. With the replacement command(s) prepared, the method proceeds to access data stored by the shared device file system using the replacement command(s).
