Patent abstract
A system manages a file directory containing data that is exposed by a file-server. The system provides a block-device layered on top of a network share that treats the underlying network share as read-only but allows local file-system semantics to operate on top of the network share. The end-result is a virtual disk containing a locally recognizable file-system that can read and write from the perspective of the operating system but where the data is store in the cloud as network shares. The virtual disk appears to be a fully functional local disk with all the expected local disk semantics.
