ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing a dual namespace client is disclosed. The present invention provides support and compatibility to a filesystem of a client which may have multiple local namespaces. In an embodiment of the present invention where the client is a node supported by a network server, the client, by communicating with and querying the network server, is able to direct the server to follow the client's rules governing appropriate filesystem operations. The integrity of the names of the files or entries stored on the network server are maintained without requiring any modifications to the structure or operation of the server itself.
