Systems and methods for providing protocol independent disjoint drive letter sets

摘要

A system and method for mounting multiple devices on an SLR enable information handling system is disclosed herein. A drive-letter may be assigned to a first user session in a first user session namespace only. A second user may have access to the same drive-letter as the mounting of drive-letters is specific to each specific user session and not the global namespace. A symbolic link is created for each assigned drive-letter and the corresponding drive-letter in the global namespace is deleted allowing for more than the standard mounting of only twenty-six different devices.

1. A method comprising:
enabling a session level restriction (SLR); receiving a request from a first user of a first client to mount a device connected to the first client; creating a volume for the connected device; determining if a first drive-letter for the volume has been created; retrieving a unique ID for the volume; caching information related to the first drive-letter; deleting the first drive-letter from global namespace; creating a first symbolic link in a first user session namespace based, at least in part, on the cached information, wherein the symbolic link is a second drive-letter; and notifying a manager that the first symbolic link has been created.
