Abstract
A technique for permitting multiple virtual file system having the same VFS identifier to be served by a single storage system. A data frame descriptor data structure is modified to include a storage pool index value that indexes into a storage pool array to identify a storage pool descriptor. The storage pool (SP) descriptor includes a SP ID, which is used in conjunction with a VFS ID to uniquely identify the VFS to which dirtied data is to be written.
