Abstract(in English) With the progress of computer technology, a user can use several computers at the same time via computer network. Currently, Network File System (NFS) provide a file sharing mechanism among several computers, that can use the same home directory on the different computers. However, if a user work on the different computers, he/she has to know their own name spaces due to the difference of their CPU architectures and the system directory structures. In this paper, we propose a new name space management mechanism that can provide a unique name space for each user. In the proposed mechanism, a name space layer is provided on the top of Virtual File System VFS) layer. The name space provided by our proposed mechanism is independent of the CPU architectures and OSs.
