1. A dispersed storage (DS) module of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the DS module comprises:

  • a first module, when operable within a computing device, causes the computing device to;

    send a plurality of sets of encoded data slices to DSN memory for storage in accordance with a plurality of sets of DSN data addresses, wherein data is dispersed storage error encoded to produce the plurality of sets of encoded data slices, wherein the data has a data name, wherein the plurality of sets of DSN data addresses is generated based on a data object number associated with the data and data storage information, and wherein the data name includes file system information;

    a second module, when operable within the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    generate retrieval data that is based on the data object number and the data storage information;

    a third module, when operable within the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    dispersed storage error encode the retrieval data to produce a set of encoded retrieval data slices;

    a fourth module, when operable within the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    generate a set of DSN retrieval data addresses based on the data name and on retrieval data storage information; and

    a fifth module, when operable within the computing device, causes the computing device to;

    send the set of encoded retrieval data slices to the DSN memory for storage therein in accordance with the set of DSN retrieval data addresses.
