Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for creating an object includes creating an object in an object store making use of a file system, obtaining an index node (inode) identifier (ID) for an inode associated with the object, creating an object ID for the object, wherein the object ID is unique from any other object IDs in the object store, merging the object ID with the inode ID, and modifying the inode to include at least the object ID. In another embodiment, a system includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being configured to: create an object in an object store making use of a file system, obtain an inode ID for an inode associated with the object, create an object ID for the object, the object ID including the inode and modify the inode to include at least the object ID.
