Design Issues: Naming and Name Resolution

Distributed file systems must address issues related to naming and resolving file locations, implementing caches on clients and servers, and maintaining cache consistency. They must also handle sequential write sharing, availability through replication and failover, scalability to avoid bottlenecks, semantic issues like read behavior, and state management for systems like NFS that use client-side caching.

Design Issues

Distributed File Systems (contd)


Naming and name resolution

on client or server location-independent or not location-transparent or not

Cache implementations

client, server or both coherent or hints (client) memory or disk write policy

Cache consistency

Distributed File Systems (contd)


server-initiated client-initiated driven by the open states of an object using cached info in newly opened files which is outdated

Sequential-write sharing

timestamp file and cache components
