Abstract: Representative embodiments set forth herein disclose techniques for implementing improved links between paths of one or more file systems. According to some embodiments, techniques are disclosed for establishing a system volume and a data volume within a container. According to other embodiments, techniques are disclosed for establishing a link from a source path of a system volume within a container to a target path of a data volume within the container. According to yet other embodiments, techniques are disclosed for determining whether to allow a file system operation on a data volume of a container based on at least determining whether a target path is associated with a reference to a source path.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a device having multiple users. The method identifies a process installed on the device that requires an isolated storage in a file system of the device. For each of a set of the users of the electronic device, the method assigns at least one container for use by the process within a user-specific section of the file system. The containers assigned to the process in a section of the file system specific to a particular user are only accessible by the process when the particular user is logged into the device. The method assigns at least one container for use by the process within a non-user-specific section of the file system. The containers assigned to the process within the non-user-specific section of the file system are accessible by the process irrespective of which user is logged into the device.
