From a client perspective, a fileset appears to be a regular directory. Users and applications running on the clients can create objects, such as directories and files, within the fileset.
A fileset must be attached to the global namespace before it is available for use by clients.
Users cannot create hard links across fileset boundaries. In addition, a user cannot rename, move, or delete a directory that is the root of a fileset. If a user attempts to perform any of these operations, global namespace issues an error message.
