A virtualizing file system view method for virtualizing one or more
network storage devices into a virtualized file system view network
storage system wherein destination network storage information of stored
files is compactly held regardless of the number of files, and files are
separated into one or more file groups and the file groups managed in
destination network storage units. Until now, managing network storage
unit information in individual files was necessary however the
virtualizing file system view method reduces the management information
that must be held and efficiently utilizes network storage capacity
without holding destination network storage information in individual
files. The cost of rewriting information is also lowered during
structural changes such as adding or deleting network storage units since
storage destination network information can be rewritten in file groups.
