Frangipani: a scalable distributed file system
TL;DR: Initial measurements indicate that Frangipani has excellent single-server performance and scales well as servers are added, and can be exported to untrusted machines using ordinary network file access protocols.

Scalable distributed file system
TL;DR: In this article, a file system is distributed over a plurality of computers connected to each other by a network, and the file system includes a file server and a disk server, and a lock server to coordinate the operation of the distributed file and disk server layers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On-line data compression in a log-structured file system
TL;DR: Hardware compression devices mesh well with on-line data compression into the low levels of a log-structured file system (Rosenblum’s Sprite LFS), which indicates that hardware compression would not only remove the performance degradation, but might well increase the effective disk transfer rate beyond that obtainable from a system without compression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decentralizing a global naming service for improved performance and fault tolerance
David R. Cheriton,Timothy Mann +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a three-level naming architecture that consists of global, administrational, and managerial naming mechanisms, each optimized to meet the performance, reliability, and security requirements at its own level.
The Echo Distributed File System
TL;DR: Its novel aspects include an extensible " junction " mechanism for global naming; extensive write-behind with ordering semantics that allow applications to maintain invariants without resorting to synchronous writes; and fault tolerance mechanisms that are highly configurable and that tolerate network partitions.
