TLDR
GPFS is IBM's parallel, shared-disk file system for cluster computers, available on the RS/6000 SP parallel supercomputer and on Linux clusters, and discusses how distributed locking and recovery techniques were extended to scale to large clusters.Citations

On the duality of data-intensive file system design: reconciling HDFS and PVFS
TL;DR: This paper integrates PVFS into Hadoop and compares its performance to HDFS using a set of data-intensive computing benchmarks and shows how to embed multiple replicas into a PVFS file, including a mapping with a complete copy local to the writing client to emulate HDFS's file layout policies.

System and method for content addressable storage
TL;DR: In this paper, the metadata is retrieved from an update log shared between the file server and the commit server, and based on the retrieved metadata, a commit server generates a version of a data structure.

To FUSE or not to FUSE: performance of user-space file systems
TL;DR: This paper analyzes the design and implementation of the most widely known user-space file system framework--FUSE--and characterize its performance for a wide range of workloads and instrumented FUSE to extract useful statistics and traces to analyze its performance bottlenecks.

Write-optimized dynamic hashing for persistent memory
TL;DR: This paper presents Cacheline-Conscious Extendible Hashing (CCEH) that reduces the overhead of dynamic memory block management while guaranteeing constant hash table lookup time and guarantees failure-atomicity without making use of explicit logging.

Extendible hashing—a fast access method for dynamic files
TL;DR: This work studies, by analysis and simulation, the performance of extendible hashing and indicates that it provides an attractive alternative to other access methods, such as balanced trees.

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.

Scalability in the XFS file system
TL;DR: The architecture and design of a new file system, XFS, for Silicon Graphics' IRIX operating system is described, and the use of B+ trees in place of many of the more traditional linear file system structures are discussed.
