Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions for performing a method, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:
utilize a first storage bin to implement a first set of I/O operations directed to a first subset of data of a file system stored through a first storage provider, wherein the first storage bin constrains the first set of I/O operations according to a first I/O size based upon the first storage provider being a cloud storage provider, and wherein the first storage bin references the first subset of data of the file system according to a first reference scheme supported by the first storage provider that does not support a second reference scheme supported by a second storage provider, wherein a metafile is queried using file names supported by the file system to identify cloud object identifiers and offsets supported by the first reference scheme; and
utilize a second storage bin to implement a second set of I/O operations directed a second subset of data of the file system stored through the second storage provider, wherein the second storage bin constrains the second set of I/O operations to a second I/O size, and wherein the second storage bin references the second subset of data of the file system according to the second reference scheme supported by the second storage provider that does not support the first reference scheme.
