First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating a client system to exercise a file system data set, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
- scanning the file system data set to (i) identify the file system objects of the file system data set, and (ii) each of contextual data and metadata for file system objects of the file system data set;
determining a virtual namespace for the file system data set using the contextual data and the metadata; and
implementing, from a client computer, one or more file system operations on the file system data set using the virtual namespace.

Abstract
A file system data set is scanned to (i) identify the file system objects of the file system data set, and (ii) obtain contextual data and metadata for file system objects of the file system data set. A virtual namespace for the file system data set is then constructed using the contextual data and the metadata. From a computer system, one or more atomic file system operations are issued to exercise the file system data set using the virtual namespace.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
scanning the file system data set to (i) identify the file system objects of the file system data set, and (ii) each of contextual data and metadata for file system objects of the file system data set; determining a virtual namespace for the file system data set using the contextual data and the metadata; and implementing, from a client computer, one or more file system operations on the file system data set using the virtual namespace. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A client computer system comprising:
-
memory resources that store a set of instructions and a virtual namespace; one or more processors that use the instructions to; scan the file system data set to (i) identify the file system objects of the file system data set, and (ii) each of contextual data and metadata for file system objects of the file system data set; determine the virtual namespace for the file system data set using the contextual data and the metadata; and implementing one or more file system operations on the file system data set using the virtual namespace.
