ABSTRACT:
In a subject filesystem, the invention computer method use the filesystem's dentry trees for all file system objects not contained in a corresponding stacking filesystem. The invention method set the process environment to have a reliable inheritance of the stacking filesystem's root context to new processes and uses the subject filesystem's (VFSMNT, dentry) for most lookups. All lookup results are then with respect to the subject filesystem's roots.
