 Common File Systems - Introduction & Overview
Common file systems allow us to run the Internet on a larger scale.Without them there would be a near inability to have e-commerce sites such as www.ebay.com.
Common file systems, which work on a distributed systems concept (information spread over multiple computers with transparency so we don't have to care about this fact - it is handled for us) allow us to move the physical location of the file without changing the logical path.
In addition to looking at these systems, we will also take a look at examples of famous outages, when common file systems failed and what the repercussions of this were and, more importantly, what was done to prevent such a similar occurrence.

CIFS supports three types of locking on file access order to maintain a file's integrity which can potentially be upset by non-locking systems such as Sun Microsystem's NFS which operates on the assumption that two users will never be writing to a particular file at the same time.

 Distributed file system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A client interface for a file service is formed by a set of primitive file operations, such as creating a file, deleting a file, reading from a file, and writing to a file.
The primary hardware component that a file server controls is a set of local secondary-storage devices on which files are stored, and from which they are retrieved according to the client requests.
A DFS is a file system whose clients, servers, and storage devices are dispersed among the machines of a distributed system or intranet.

 Common Internet File System
CIFS, the Common Internet File System, is essentially SMB adapted to the Internet.
The server’s role is to monitor the opportunistic locks on all files within the file system, track who has locked what, and notify clients when an opportunistic lock must be broken for whatever reason.
Once the updates are performed and the file is completely synchronized, the exclusive oplock is broken and the server may grant the request to the second client.

The client will not attempt to set the uid and gid on on newly created files, directories, and devices (create, mkdir, mknod) which will result in the server setting the uid and gid to the default (usually the server uid of the user who mounted the share).
Letting the server (rather than the client) set the uid and gid is the default.If the CIFS Unix Extensions are not negotiated then the uid and gid for new files will appear to be the uid (gid) of the mounter or the uid (gid) parameter specified on the mount.
Client does permission checks (vfs_permission check of uid and gid of the file against the mode and desired operation), Note that this is in addition to the normal ACL check on the target machine done by the server software.

 Server Message Block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SMB was originally invented by Barry Feigenbaum at IBM to turn DOS "Interrupt 33" local file access into a networked file system, but the most common version is modified heavily by Microsoft.
Client computers may have their own hard disks, which are not publicly shared, yet also want access to the shared file systems and printers on the server, and it is for this primary purpose that SMB is best known and most heavily used.
Objective Development's Sharity is an SMB file system client for Unix.

It is an integral part of workstation and server operating systems as well as embedded and appliance systems.
Although primarily a file sharing and authoring protocol, CIFS assumes even more importance due to the indirect use of CIFS as a transport protocol for various higher level NT and Windows9x communication protocols, as well as for network printing, resource location services, remote management/administration, network authentication (secure establishment services) and RPC (Remote Procedure Calls).
