ABSTRACT:
The mass storage system functions to archive, store, retrieve and manage the plurality of data files that comprise a typical file-system as a single uninterpreted bitfile. Client data processors access this file-system on a shared, channel-attached direct access storage device the same as if the file-system was located on a directly attached direct access storage device belonging exclusively to the client data processor. The direct access storage devices, archival storage devices and the client data processors which move the file-system bitfile between archival storage devices, direct access storage devices for access by the client data processors.
