Abstract
A method for supporting files names in a storage system, the method may include receiving a first protocol request for creating an object having a requested object name that comprises one or more sets of slashes, wherein the first protocol does not use the one or more sets as hierarchy separators; wherein each set of slashes comprises one or more consecutive slashes; determining a role of each set of the one or more sets in a second protocol that uses slashes as hierarchy separators; and generating a path name for accessing the object, when using either one of the first and second protocols, wherein the generating is based on the requested object name and the role of each set.
