Claim Text:
1. A method of selectively routing a file system object transparently to an operating system, the method comprising: performing by a processor configured to carry out selective routing under control of a monitoring application which is operable with an operating system and includes an intermediate partition with redirect information, wherein the processor has operable connections to first and second memory devices for such selective routing: wherein, prior to routing the file system object from the first memory device to the second memory device, the operating system uses the directory in the first memory device to resolve the path to the file system object stored in the first memory device, wherein, after routing the file system object from the first memory device to the second memory device, the operating system uses the directory in the first memory device to resolve the path to the file system object stored in the second memory device and is redirected to the intermediate partition, and wherein, after being redirected to the intermediate partition and using the intermediate partition's redirect information, the operating system resolves the path to the file system object stored in the second memory device so that the operating system uses the directory in the first memory device prior to and after the routing of the file system object to the second memory device such that the routing is transparent to the operating system.
