Abstract
In one aspect, two ways of accessing a content unit stored on a CAS are provided, wherein the content unit has a content address that is computed based, at least in part, on at least a portion of its content. A first interface is provided to a file system in which the content unit is logically stored as a logical unit identified by a logical identifier, wherein the content unit is accessed in response to a request to the first interface to access the logical unit and identifying the content unit via the logical identifier. A second interface is provided through which the content unit can be accessed via the content address, wherein the content unit is accessed in response to a request to the second interface to access the content unit and identifying the content unit by the content address.
