Policy and configuration data for a user directory
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor; and
a non-transitory storage device communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the non-transitory storage device comprises instructions executable by the processor to;
create a hierarchical organization directory that is device and operating system independent under a root directory in a namespace of a file system;
create default policy and configuration data associated with the hierarchical organization directory;
create a user directory under the hierarchical organization directory;
create policy and configuration data for the user directory;
store the policy and configuration data created for the user directory in the hierarchical organization directory; and
receive a request to retrieve policy and configuration data related to the user directory from an application running on an operating system and retrieve the policy and configuration data related to the user directory from the hierarchical organization directory, wherein the policy and configuration data related to the user directory comprises the default policy and configuration data associated with the hierarchical organization directory and the policy and configuration data created for the user directory.

Abstract
In one example, a system is described in which a storage device, communicatively coupled to a processor, includes a file system management module. This file system management module may create a hierarchical organization directory that is a device and an operating system independent under a root directory in a namespace of a file system. Further, the file system management module may create a user directory under the hierarchical organization directory. Furthermore, the file system management module may create policy and configuration data for the user directory. In addition, the file system management module may store the policy and configuration data created for the user directory in the hierarchical organization directory.

6. A method comprising:
-
creating a hierarchical organization directory that is device and operating system independent under a root directory in a namespace of a file system; creating default policy and configuration data associated with the hierarchical organization directory; creating a user directory under the hierarchical organization directory; creating policy and configuration data for the user directory; storing the policy and configuration data created for the user directory in the hierarchical organization directory; and retrieving policy and configuration data related to the user directory from the hierarchical organization directory when a request is received from an application running on an operating system, wherein the policy and configuration data related to the user directory comprises the default policy and configuration data associated with the hierarchical organization directory and the policy and configuration data created for the user directory. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
