Abstract

Technology is disclosed for accessing data fragments of data objects. The method receives a request for storing a data fragment of a data object in the storage server. The request includes an object identifier of the data object. The method further extracts a first string from the object identifier. The method then determines whether there is an existing file system object having a file system name that matches the first string. If there is no file system object that has a file system name that matches the first string, the method stores the data fragment as a fragment file with a file system name matching the first string.
