ABSTRACT:
A method for storage of user mapping data associated with users of data stored by storage servers includes operating multiple storage servers, each configured to provide a set of clients with access to data stored in a set of mass storage devices, and using one or more directory servers, which may be coupled to the storage servers via a network. The directory server stores and provides access to user account information associated with a second operating system based on user account information associated with a first operating system, when the user account information associated with the second operating system is needed to access data stored in accordance with the second operating system.
