ABSTRACT:
A filing system for a storage area network with inode based policy identifiers is disclosed. The filing system includes a processor and a storage device configured to store data. The processor receives an operation to perform on an object of the filing system and retrieves a policy identifier from an inode for the object. The processor then determines a policy from the policy identifier and determines whether execution of the operation is in compliance with the policy. The processor also determines an action to perform based on the determination of compliance with the policy.
