ABSTRACT:
A data management system used by a digital computer system comprises a plurality of individual file systems which are connected together in a logical ring configuration around which file requests travel. File requests may be transmitted by the user to the "next" file system in the ring relative to the user.
File requests optionally may or may not specify a file system name. If a file system name is specified, then the request is forwarded unidirectionally around the logical ring until either that file system name is found or the request returns to its starting point. If no file system name is specified, then an attempt is made to satisfy the request on each file system in turn until either the request is satisfied or the request returns to its starting point.
