Zusammenfassung:Techniques are described for allowing a data storage system to provision all vVols (or other similar virtual storage containers) as logical storage devices, which can be bound to either a block-based protocol endpoint as an exposed LUN or to a file-based protocol endpoint as a file. This may be accomplished by operating, as part of the file-based protocol endpoint, a lightweight filesystem that creates file abstractions that map to underlying logical storage devices.
