to remove this message a clustered file system cfs is a file system which is shared by being simultaneously mounted on multiple servers there are several approaches to clustering most of which do not employ a clustered file system only direct attached storage for each node clustered file systems can provide features like location independent addressing and redundancy which improve reliability or reduce the complexity of the other parts of the cluster parallel file systems are a type of clustered file system that spread data across multiple storage nodes usually for redundancy or performance 1 shared disk file system edit a shared disk file system uses a storage area network san to allow multiple computers to gain direct disk access at the block level access control and translation from file level operations that applications use to block level operations used by the san must take place on the client node the most common type of clustered file system the shared disk file system by adding mechanisms for concurrency control provides a consistent and serializable view of the file system avoiding corruption and unintended data loss even when multiple clients try to access the same files at the same time shared disk file systems commonly employ some sort of fencing mechanism to prevent data corruption in case of node failures because an unfenced device can cause data corruption if it loses communication with its sister nodes and tries to access the same information other nodes are accessing the underlying storage area network may use any of a number of block level protocols including scsi iscsi hyperscsi ata over ethernet aoe fibre channel network block device and infiniband there are different architectural approaches to a shared disk filesystem some distribute file

ported to linux scoutfs vmware vmfs wekafs apple xsan dragonfly bsd hammer2 distributed file systems edit distributed file systems do not share block level access to the same storage but use a network protocol 3 4 these are commonly known as network file systems even though they are not the only file systems that use the network to send data 5 distributed file systems can restrict access to the file system depending on access lists or capabilities on both the servers and the clients depending on how the protocol is designed the difference between a distributed file system and a distributed data store is that a distributed file system allows files to be accessed using the same interfaces and semantics as local files for example mounting unmounting listing directories read write at byte boundaries system s native permission model distributed data stores by contrast require using a different api or library and have different semantics most often those of a database 6 design goals edit distributed file systems may aim for transparency in a number of aspects that is they aim to be invisible to client programs which see a system which is similar to a local file system behind the scenes the distributed file system handles locating files transporting data and potentially providing other features listed below access transparency clients are unaware that files are distributed and can access them in the same way as local files are accessed location transparency a consistent namespace exists encompassing local as well as remote files the name of a file does not give its location concurrency transparency all clients have the same view of the state of the file system this means that if one process is modifying a file any other processes on the same system or remote systems that are accessing the files will see the modifications in a coherent manner failure transparency the client and client programs should operate correctly after a server failure heterogeneity file service should be provided across different hardware and operating system platforms scalability the file system should work well in small environments 1 machine a dozen machines and also scale gracefully to bigger ones hundreds through tens of thousands of systems replication transparency clients should not have to be aware of the file replication performed across multiple servers to support scalability migration transparency files should be able to move between different servers without the client s knowledge history edit the incompatible timesharing system used virtual devices for transparent inter machine file system access in the 1960s more file servers were developed in the 1970s in 1976 digital equipment corporation created the file access listener fal an implementation of the data access protocol as part of decnet phase ii which became the first widely used network file system in 1984 sun microsystems created the file system called network file system nfs which became the first widely used internet protocol based network file system 4 other notable network file systems are andrew file system afs apple filing protocol afp netware core protocol ncp and server message block smb which is also known as common internet file system cifs in 1986 ibm announced client and server support for distributed data management architecture ddm for the system 36 system 38 and ibm mainframe computers running cics this was followed by the support for ibm personal computer as 400 ibm mainframe computers under the mvs and vse operating systems and flexos ddm also became the foundation for distributed relational database architecture also known as drda there are many peer to peer network protocols for open source distributed file systems for cloud or closed source clustered file systems

attached storage edit main article network attached storage network attached storage nas provides both storage and a file system like a shared disk file system on top of a storage area network san nas typically uses file based protocols as opposed to block based protocols a san would use such as nfs popular on unix systems smb cifs server message block common internet file system used with ms windows systems afp used with apple macintosh computers or ncp used with oes and novell netware design considerations edit avoiding single point of failure edit the failure of disk hardware or a given storage node in a cluster can create a single point of failure that can result in data loss or unavailability fault tolerance and high availability can be provided through data replication of one sort or another so that data remains intact and available despite the failure of any single piece of equipment for examples see the lists of distributed fault tolerant file systems and distributed parallel fault tolerant file systems performance edit a common performance measurement of a clustered file system is the amount of time needed to satisfy service requests in conventional systems this time consists of a disk access time and a small amount of cpu processing time but in a clustered file system a remote access has additional overhead due to the distributed structure this includes the time to deliver the request to a server the time to deliver the response to the client and for each direction a cpu overhead of running the communication protocol software concurrency edit concurrency control becomes an issue when more than one person or client is accessing the same file or block and want to update it hence updates to the file from one client should not interfere with access and updates from other clients this problem is more complex with file systems due to concurrent overlapping writes where different writers write to overlapping regions of the file concurrently 9 this problem is usually handled by concurrency control or locking which may either be built into the file system or provided by an add on protocol history edit ibm mainframes in the 1970s could share physical disks and file systems if each machine had its own channel connection to the drives control units in the 1980s digital equipment corporation s tops 20 and openvms clusters vax alpha ia64
