Topic: Coda file system


  
  InterMezzo (file system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
InterMezzo is a distributed file system written for Linux, distributed with a GPL licence.
An InterMezzo system consists of a server, which holds the master copy of the file system, and one or more clients with a cache of the file system.
Distributed file serving, e.g., FTP or WWW servers could be mirrored in a remote location without needing to propagate files that are never accessed.

 Coda (file system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coda is a distributed filesystem, developed at Carnegie Mellon University since 1987, under the direction of Mahadev Satyanarayanan.
It is based on an older version of AFS, a similar but in some aspects less advanced distributed file system.
The emphasis of the Coda development appears to be on moving from a very good research project to a filesystem ready for production use.

 The Coda Distributed File System
The Coda distributed file system is a state of the art experimental file system developed in the group of M. Satyanarayanan at Carnegie Mellon University.
A system call is an operation through which a program asks the kernel for service: for example, when opening the file the kernel will want to do a lookup operation to find the inode of the file and return a file handle associated with the file to the program.
Coda is a pretty minimalistic file system module: it keeps a cache of recently answered requests from the VFS, but otherwise passes the request on to the Coda cache manager, called Venus.

 Coda File System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Coda is a distributed filesystem with its origin in AFS2.
We believe that the system needs to be taken from its current status to a widely available system.
The current activities with Coda are mostly aimed at making this very good file system widely available, and a network file system of choice.

 The Coda File System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Coda File System was developed at the Carnegie Mellon University from the late 80s on.
The System is based on the Andrew File System [Morr86, Howard88] which (unlike NFS or RFS) allows for large networks and thousands of clients.
Coda provides the same functionality but adds two distinct features: Servers can be replicated in order to avoid congestion and to reduce high traffic areas in the network.

 1999 USENIX Annual Technical Conference, June 6-11, 1999, Monterey, California, USA
The Coda project began in 1987 with the goal of building a distributed file system that had the location transparency, scalability and security characteristics of AFS [11] but offered substantially greater resilience in the face of failures of servers or network connections.
Coda pioneered the concept of disconnected operation and was the first distributed file system to provide this capability [13].
Coda is implemented as a collection of substantial user level programs together with a small kernel module on the client which provides the necessary Coda file system interface to the operating system.

 PVFS: Description
For a parallel file system to be easily used, it must provide a name space that is the same across the cluster and it must be accessible via the utilities to which we are all accustomed.
PVFS file systems may be mounted on all nodes in the same directory simultaneously, allowing all nodes to see and access all files on the PVFS file system through the same directory scheme.
While the traditional mechanism of system calls for file access is convenient and allows for all applications to access files stored on many different file system types, there is overhead in accessing through the kernel.

 The Coda Distributed File System | Linux Journal
The Coda distributed file system is a state-of-the-art experimental file system developed in the group of M.
Coda is a fairly minimalistic file-system module: it keeps a cache of recently answered requests from the VFS, but otherwise passes the request on to the Coda cache manager, called Venus.
The file is now an ordinary file on the local disk, and read/write operations to the file do not reach Venus but are (almost) entirely handled by the local file system (EXT2 for Linux).

 Coda File System User and System Administrators Manual: Unix Manual Pages
The Coda failure emulation package consists of two pieces: a library of routines (libfail) that is linked in with each client and server, and a user interface program (filcon) that controls the behavior of the linked-in libraries.
Column 2 specifies the directory of the Coda data tree which must be a local file system partition for optimal performance.
Each file specified in it has its current date checked at the server, and a new copy of the file is fetched if the date does not match that on the control machine.

 Disconnected Operation in the Coda File System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Coda paper was interesting, especially as it seems to have been the first of its kind.
I think that the Coda needs a concept of "cache installation" which would allow system files (like apps) to be installed in a seperate cache from the user cache.
For example, Coda could go so far as to email the users regarding the conflict and allow them to discuss and the execute some sort of choose command to choose which update to go with, or to discard both and create a new one...

 CS701 - File System Seminar
In this seminar we will study the evolution in the design of specific file systems and investigate the issues that are of importance for the performance of these file systems.
The systems that will be studied in detail are the Windows NT NTFS, the BSD UNIX fast file system, the Sprite Log Structured file system, NFS, the Andrew file system, Coda, as well as a number of more experimental file system architectures.
There are projects available for the analysis of trace data of the NT file system, for the development of a NT cache manager simulator and for implementing and testing new algorithms within Windows NT.

 EXPLOITING WEAK CONNECTIVITY IN A DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM.
The design of distributed file systems has traditionally been based on an assumption of strong connectivity.
The starting point of this work is disconnected operation, in which a file system client operates using data in its cache during server or network failures.
The foundation of adaptivity in this system is the communications layer, which derives and supplies information on network conditions to higher system layers.

Coda from CMU; Notes on reading The Coda Distributed File System.
For now I am going to ignore the feature of file systems participating in update resolution, even while admitting that it might be strategic.
Coda has some interesting ideas but they are not germane to the scheme afoot which seeks a virtual disk rather than a virtual file system.

The DarwinCoda project aims to provide the missing bits and pieces for the Coda File system, that is, the missing bits and pieces for Darwin and MacOS X. The most important piece is the kernel extension needed to be able to use Coda.
The Coda file system is a Reserarch project at the Carnegie-Mellon University.
What use to be the most interesting thing with Coda is its ability to act like a decent distributed file system even when you are not connected to any networks, something that comes in handy for all those iBooks and PowerBooks.

E.g., “Coda> File not found.” Editing/Updating: You can build a very primitive editor that would help you to change the contents and write the file (on client itself).
The same 8 — 10 files may be considered as 1 volume, replicated, and stored in all the 3 servers.
The documentation file should describe the design aspects of the program and mention whatever assumptions made in the program.

 CS262A Reading Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Using caching to improve not only performance, but availability of remote file systems, is a novel idea.
First, whole file, disk based persistent caching makes the data for disconnected operation readily available to the client machine.
Resolving conflicts is hard with Coda, because the user needs to decide which version of the file to keep, while the modificaiton to files can be related to each other.

 File Systems
This is a most interesting project; the author has been benchmarking a file system that stores both inodes and data blocks as a balanced tree.
Moreover, porting file system code from one operating system to another is almost as difficult as the first port.
These proposals, however, advocated massive changes to existing operating system interfaces and existing file systems; operating system vendors and maintainers resist making any large changes to their kernels because of stability and performance concerns.
