Abstract
In an embodiment of a method of facilitating access to an electronic datum, the embodiment includes the step of providing a computer system with first data that identifies the electronic datum. The embodiment also includes the step of receiving from the computer system second data that identifies a file system that is associated with the electronic datum. In addition to the previous two steps the embodiment includes the step of providing the second data to a file system mounting process to effect mounting of the file system and thereby facilitating access to the electronic datum.
Claims26
A method of facilitating access to an electronic datum, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a computer system with first data that identifies the electronic datum;
- receiving from the computer system second data that identifies a file system that is associated with the electronic datum;
- and
- providing the second data to a file system mounting process to effect mounting of the file system and thereby facilitate access to the electronic datum.
A method of facilitating access to an electronic datum, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving from a computer system first data that identifies the electronic datum;
- processing the first data to identify a file system that is associated with the electronic datum;
- and
- providing the computer system with second data that identifies the file system, the second data being such that it can be used by a file system mounting process to mount the file system and thereby facilitate access to the electronic datum.
A system for facilitating access to an electronic datum, the system comprising a processing means that is arranged to:
- provide a computer system with first data that identifies the electronic datum;
- receive from the computer system second data that identifies a file system that is associated with the electronic datum;
- and
- provide the second data to a file system mounting process to effect mounting of the file system and thereby facilitate access to the electronic datum.
