Abstract: An improvement is disclosed to the conventional single node operating system to provide a single system interface to a user although multiple independent nodes (A,B,C) are involved. The improvement comprises a technique for creating a single set of master system files. These master system files define the system characteristics that a user at any node in the system can expect to have. The master system files are mounted remotely from each of the nodes of the system and a local copy of the master system files is kept locally reflecting the current contents of the master system file. If a master file is not available, the local copy is used in read only mode until the node containing the master is available. In addition, each user has its own file tree organization that dictates the necessary remote mounts of directories to enable a user logged on to any node to have the same view of the system that would be obtained from any other node in the system by that user.
