Implementation of the Ficus Replicated File System.
TL;DR: The Ficus replicated le system for NFS is introduced and how it is layered on top of existing le systems is shown, in a manner analogous to object-oriented programming with inheritance.

TL;DR: This paper details and evaluates the use of optimistic replica consistency, automatic update conflict detection and repair, the peer‐to‐peer (as opposed to client‐server) interaction model, and the stackable file system architecture in the design and construction of Ficus.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Primarily disconnected operation: experiences with Ficus
TL;DR: Recent experiences using Ficus in settings where some replicas are only occasionally connected to a network, and hence partitioned operation is the rule rather than the exception, conclude that with some tuning, Ficus adapted quite well to primarily disconnected operation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Replication in Ficus distributed file systems
TL;DR: Ficus is a replicated general filing environment for Unix intended to scale to very large (nationwide) networks in which conflicting updates to the file system's directory information are automatically reconciled, while conflicting file updates are reliably detected and reported.
