What a namespace constituent is
Each Infinite Volume has a single namespace constituent that maps directory information and file names to the file's physical data location within the Infinite Volume.
The namespace constituent is essential to the operation of the Infinite Volume because nodes use the information on the namespace constituent to locate file data requested by clients.
Clients are not aware of the namespace constituent and do not interact directly with it. The namespace constituent is an internal component of the Infinite Volume.
