	Network File System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		NFS, or the Network File System, was originally developed by Sun Microsystems in the 1980's as a way to create a file system on diskless clients.
		This means that a file system may actually be sitting on machine A, but machine B can mount that filesystem and it will look to the users on machine B like the file system resides on the local machine.
		File systems that are available for access across the network are often referred to as shared file systems.

	Using Network File System in AIX -- a primer
		The Networked File System (NFS) is one of a category of filesystems known as distributed filesystems.
		Once a file handle is issued for a file, that file handle will remain good even if the server is shutdown and rebooted, as long as the file continues to exist and no major changes are made to the configuration of the server.
		The advantage of a connectionless, stateless system is that clients can continue using a network file server even if that server crashes and restarts, because there is no connection that must be re-established, and all of the state information associated with the remote mount is kept on the clients, i.e.

	File system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The file system software is responsible for organizing these sectors into files and directories, and keeping track of which sectors belong to which file and which are not being used.
		The hierarchical file system was an early research interest of Dennis Ritchie of Unix fame; previous implementations were restricted to only a few levels, notably the IBM implementations, even of their early databases like IMS.
		A disk file system is a file system designed for the storage of files on a data storage device, most commonly a disk drive, which might be directly or indirectly connected to the computer.

	Networked File System
		It is possible that once an fhandle has been obtained the file in question may be deleted or become inaccessible as a consequence of file system acitvity on the server, this gives rise to a condition known as a stale file handle.
		If the server is using a Unix file system the file handle is a function of the device number, i-number and i-node generation number.
		Since such a file appears as part of the client file system, when the file is executed on the client the effects of the setuid nature of the file are felt on the client.

	NFS: Network File System
		Network File System (NFS), originally developed by Sun Microsystems and then extended by IETF, allows file sharing over network among different types of systems.
		In other words, NFS was designed for remote file access and sharing over network with various types of machines, operating systems, network architecture and transport protocols.
		NFS mount protocol is used to communicate between the server and the client for the file access and sharing.

	Linux NFS faq
		Everyday file sharing is most often completely sequential: first client A opens a file, writes something to it, then closes it; then client B opens the same file, and reads the changes.
		A file's file handle is assigned by an NFS server, and is supposed to be unique on that server for the life of that file.
		System administrators enable synchronous writes for all files in a local file system by mounting that file system with the "sync" option.

	Network File System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Network File System (NFS), initially developed by Sun Microsystems, is a communication protocol and application programming interface which is emerging as a defacto standard for distributed file system services in a heterogeneous computing environment.
		It permits a partition of a server's file system to be associated with either a device or a subdirectory on a client depending on the file/device model of the client's file system (see sec.
		In a system where a server maintains the states of files as they are accessed by each client, the failure of a client, a server, or the network is difficult to recover from in an acceptable manner that will restore the states of clients and servers to the conditions in place before the failure.

	Network File System (NFS)
		This allows files to be organized in a central location, while providing the functionality of allowing authorized users continuous access to them.
		After granting access, any file and directory operations are sent to the server using remote procedure calls.
		Users of remote systems mounting your export will be able to modify data in the exported filesystem.

		NFS (Network File System) allows hosts to mount partitions on a remote system and use them as though they are local file systems.
		The stateless UDP connection minimizes network traffic, as the NFS server sends the client a cookie after the client is authorized to access the shared volume.
		Exported file systems can be a accessed by any users on the remote machine.

		File locking With the NFS version 4 protocol, the support for byte range file locking is part of the NFS protocol.
		However, in the case that the client itself is renaming the file and the file is open, it is possible that the client may be able to recover.
		The stat() system call is returning the fileid of the root of the mounted filesystem, whereas readdir() is returning the fileid stat() would have returned before any filesystems were mounted on the mount point.

		When transferring a file between the client and server, LBFS identifies chunks of data that the recipient already has in other files and avoids transmitting the redundant data over the network.
		While it is useful for organizations that wish to hide the structure of a network file system, it lacks so much that administrators need–reliability, redundancy, and ease of administration.
		AFS is a distributed network file system that enables files physically stored on many different AFS servers to be accessed as if they were in a single directory (or virtual drive) on a local computer.

	Performance Tuning Guidelines for Microsoft Services for Network File System
		These network adapters are good for failover scenarios but typically share a single interrupt among all the ports on the network adapter.
		It is useful to turn off the process and system counters by using this registry parameter on systems where there is a measurable cost associated with counting I/O at the process and system level but where I/O rates can still be analyzed at the physical, logical, network interface, IP and TCP levels.
		Because network connections and file server sessions all stay on the same network adapter, binding interrupts from the network adapter to a processor allows for processing of incoming packets (server message block (SMB) requests, data) on a specific set of processors, improving locality and scalability.

	NFS: Network File System
		NFS assumes a file system that is hierarchical, with directories as all but the bottom level of files.
		Different operating systems may have restrictions on the depth of the tree or the names used, as well as using different syntax to represent the "pathname", which is the concatenation of all the "components" (directory and file names) in the name.
		A "file system" is a tree on a single server (usually a single disk or physical partition) with a specified "root".

	The Network File System
		This is made possible by a mixture of kernel functionality on the client side (that uses the remote file system) and an NFS server on the server side (that provides the file data).
		This file access is completely transparent to the client, and works across a variety of server and host architectures.
		The NFS implementation of is a little different in that the client code is tightly integrated in the virtual file system (VFS) layer of the kernel and doesn't require additional control through biod.

	What is Network File System? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: NFS
		- The Network File System (NFS) is a client/server application that lets a computer user view and optionally store and update file on a remote computer as though they were on the user's own computer.
		Using NFS, the user or a system administrator can mount all or a portion of a file system (which is a portion of the hierarchical tree in any file directory and subdirectory, including the one you find on your PC or Mac).
		The portion of your file system that is mounted (designated as accessible) can be accessed with whatever privileges go with your access to each file (read-only or read-write).

	What is NFS? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Abbreviation of Network File System, a client/server application designed by Sun Microsystems that allows all network users to access shared files stored on computers of different types.
		Users can manipulate shared files as if they were stored locally on the user's own hard disk.
		With NFS, computers connected to a network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers while providing remote users access to local shared files.
