Abstract: Representative embodiments set forth herein disclose techniques for implementing dynamic file system volumes that can share storage space with other file system (FS) volumes within the same partition/storage device. According to some embodiments, techniques are disclosed for establishing an FS volume within a container. According to other embodiments, techniques are disclosed for handling input/output (I/O) requests across different FS volumes. According to yet other embodiments, techniques are disclosed for efficiently establishing, within a storage device, an FS volume from an image of the FS volume.
