Abstract

An improved technique involves providing a naming scheme that uses a unique numeric identifier associated with a particular naming protocol. Along these lines, when a storage processor receives a first name of a file that conforms to a first naming protocol, the storage processor places the first name and an inode number corresponding to the file in a directory entry. The storage processor associates this entry with a unique numeric identifier by which the entry can be located within the directory. Based on this unique identifier, the storage processor is configured to generate the second name that conforms to the second naming protocol.
