This paper proposes some methods to allocate file systems to requesting clients in a grid system. The clients can be processes, jobs, tasks, or users. A global book keeping algorithm is suggested to keep track of the available and used space in a grid. Sharing of file system at file level is suggested. Remote file mounts, duplicate mount points for files are suggested improvements to the existing systems which improve the transparency of the file systems to the clients.
