Abstract:
The present invention enables a user to increase storage capacity for a host by using multiple storage devices. File systems are virtualized regardless of any difference in file system format. The invention may be embodied as a device for integrating file systems or as a method of integrating file systems. The device has one or more storage device interfaces for storage devices, a host interface, and a hub connected to the interfaces. The hub creates a virtual file system that aggregates the storage device file systems of storage devices that are connected to the storage device interfaces. The method of integrating file systems includes reading file systems, interpreting them, creating a logical structure containing data of the file systems, and generating in a memory sectors that map the logical structure into a virtual file system.
