A Low-bandwidth Network File System

by Athicha Muthitacharoen, Benjie Chen, David Mazieres , 2001
"... This paper presents LBFS, a network file system designed for low bandwidth networks. LBFS exploits similarities between files or versions of the same file to save bandwidth. It avoids sending data over the network when the same data can already be found in the server's file system or the client ..."

The Galley parallel file system

by Nils Nieuwejaar, David Kotz - Parallel Computing , 1996
"... Most current multiprocessor le systems are designed to use multiple disks in parallel, using the high aggregate bandwidth to meet the growing I/O requirements of parallel scienti c applications. Many multiprocessor le systems provide applications with a conventional Unix-like interface, allowing the ..."

. In addition to providing an insu cient interface, most current multiprocessor le systems are optimized for a di erent workload than they are being asked to support. We introduce Galley, a new parallel le system that is intended to e ciently support realistic scienti c multiprocessor workloads. We discuss

Measurement and analysis of large-scale network file system workloads

by Andrew W. Leung, Shankar Pasupathy, Garth Goodson, Ethan L. Miller - In Proceedings of the 2008 USENIX Annual Technical Conference , 2008
"... In this paper we present the analysis of two large-scale network file system workloads. We measured CIFS traffic for two enterprise-class file servers deployed in the NetApp data center for a three month period. One file server was used by marketing, sales, and finance departments and the other by t ..."

Shark: Scaling File Servers via Cooperative Caching

by Siddhartha Annapureddy, Michael J. Freedman, David Mazières
"... Network file systems offer a powerful, transparent interface for accessing remote data. Unfortunately, in current network file systems like NFS, clients fetch data from a central file server, inherently limiting the system’s ability to scale to many clients. While recent distributed (peer-topeer) sy ..."

areas, while still remaining competitive for single clients in the local area. Thus, Shark enables modestly-provisioned file servers to scale to hundreds of read-mostly clients while retaining traditional usability, consistency, security, and accountability.

Galley: A New Parallel File System For Scientific Workloads

by Nils Nieuwejaar , 1996
"... Most current multiprocessor file systems are designed to use multiple disks in parallel, using the high aggregate bandwidth to meet the growing I/O requirements of parallel scientific applications. Most multiprocessor file systems provide applications with a conventional Unix-like interface, allowin ..."

/O to exploit that parallelism. In addition to providing an insufficient interface, most current multiprocessor le systems are optimized for a different workload than they are being asked to support. In this work we examine current multiprocessor file systems, as well as how those file systems are used

Clustering in Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Workloads

by F. Le Fessant, S. Handurukande, A.-M. Kermarrec, L. Massoulié - In 3rd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS , 2004
"... Peer-to-peer file sharing systems now generate a significant portion of Internet tra#c. A good understanding of their workloads is crucial in order to improve their scalability, robustness and performance. Previous measurement studies on Kazaa and Gnutella were based on monitoring peer requests, and ..."

NetFS – Network Configuration Through the File System

by Panagiotis Galiotos, Joseph Touch, Joshua Train
"... NetFS is a unified, platform-independent interface for network configuration using the file system and its operations. It introduces a novel approach where the system’s network configuration components are mapped to a virtual file system. After mounting NetFS, network configuration can be performed ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
by using familiar file system manipulations. Network configuration is unified and simplified while current configuration methods are still supported. NetFS exploits existing file system to offer fine-grained access control in which different permissions and policies can be granted to different users

Zion File System Simulator

by F Paladin , D R Adams
"... Abstract File systems are fundamental for computers and devices with data storage units. They allow operating systems to understand and organize streams of bytes and obtain readable files from them. There are numerous file systems available in the industry, all with their own unique features. Under ..."

tool, in the form of a small application, built to help students understand how the I/O manager of an operating system interacts with the drive through the file system. Users can see and analyze the structure of a simple, flat file system provided with Zion, or simulate the most common structures

Exploiting Redundancy to Conserve Energy in Storage Systems

by Eduardo Pinheiro, Ricardo Bianchini, Cezary Dubnicki , 2005
"... This paper makes two main contributions. First, it introduces Diverted Accesses, a technique that leverages the redundancy in storage systems to conserve disk energy. Second, it evaluates the previous (redundancy-oblivious) energy conservation techniques, along with Diverted Accesses, as a function ..."

Our modeling results show that Diverted Accesses is more effective and robust than the redundancy-oblivious techniques. Our simulation results show that our

TidyFS: A Simple and Small Distributed File System

by Dennis Fetterly, Michael Isard, Maya Haridasan, Swaminathan Sundararaman
"... This paper describes TidyFS, a simple and small distributed file system that provides the abstractions necessary for data parallel computations on clusters. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in computing using clusters of commodity, shared nothing computers. Frequently the prim ..."
Abstract - Cited by 4 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
the primary I/O workload for such clusters is generated by a distributed execution engine such as MapReduce, Hadoop or Dryad, and is high-throughput, sequential, and read-mostly. Other large-scale distributed file systems have emerged to meet these workloads, notably the Google File System (GFS
