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

Understanding the Effect of Multiple Factors on a Parallel File System's Performance
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that no significant performance variation is observed when choosing one among four TCP congestion-avoidance algorithms and the effect of the page cache of I/O nodes on a PFS's write throughput and how it relates to other factors is detailed.

Towards Unaligned Writes Optimization in Cloud Storage With High-Performance SSDs
TL;DR: An object-based device system named NVStore is proposed to optimize the unaligned writes in cloud storage with NVMe SSDs and proposes a KV Affinity Metadata Management which co-designs the block map and key-value store to provides a flattened and decoupled metadata management.

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.
