Seminar presented at Argonne National Laboratory, USA, Division
of Mathematics and Computer Science on Wednesday 5th November, 1997.
Abstract
Distributed file systems constitute the mainstay of information flow
in many computer users' electronic existence, and there has been a
correspondingly large amount of research performed in the field. From
simple file servers with little more functionality than the ability to
transfer files, to replicated file systems with atomic transactions,
and through to web file systems, the focus of distributed storage
research has continuously been changing. This talk describes some of
the well-worn ground in the field, what has been successful and what
has not, and where it looks like the research focus is heading. This
work is in support of research into a distributed storage component of
a distributed high performance computing environment.
