Abstract: A method includes obtaining a data object for storage. The method further includes generating a data object identifier for the data object. The method further includes determining a vault for storing the data object. The method further includes generating a source name for the data object based on the data object identifier and a vault identifier. The method further includes dispersed storage error encoding the data object to produce a plurality of sets of encoded data slices. The method further includes generating a plurality of sets of slice names, wherein each of the slice names of the plurality of slice names includes the source name. The method further includes sending, in accordance with the plurality of sets of slice names, the plurality of sets of encoded data slices to a set of storage units of the DSN that supports the vault for storage therein.

Abstract: A user device includes a DSN interface operably coupled with a DSN memory and a DS processing module for storing and retrieving a data object from the DSN memory, wherein the data object is partitioned into a plurality of data segments and wherein each of the plurality of data segments is stored in the DSN memory as a plurality of encoded data slices that are generated based on an error encoding dispersal function. The user device also includes a command line interpreter operable to interpret a file command as a request to display the data object by an application program, determine the data object is stored in the DSN memory and request the DSN processing module to retrieve the data object from the DSN memory and provide the data object to the application program.
