Abstract
A method and system for providing to a human user or high-level application program a functional interface for translating the names of logical objects into physical mappings of logical objects to physical storage locations within a mass storage device and for allowings a human user or high-level application program to request that two logical objects be physically separated within a mass storage device so that a single failure cannot corrupt both logical objects, the physical separation optionally monitored over time to guarantee that logical objects are not subsequently remapped in a way that results in partial or full overlap.
