Abstract
A namespace is provided in a file system that employs logical volumes. With the namespace, the file system can withstand data storage units going offline without compromising accessibility of the files in the data storage units that remain online. The files in the online data storage units remain accessible through the use of path lookup tables that are stored in the online data storage units.
