<p>A <b>clustered file system</b> (<b>CFS</b>) is a <a href="File_system" title="File system">file system</a> which is shared by being simultaneously <a href="Mount_(computing)" title="Mount (computing)">mounted</a> on multiple <a href="Server_(computing)" title="Server (computing)">servers</a>. There are several approaches to <a href="Computer_cluster" title="Computer cluster">clustering</a>, most of which do not employ a clustered file system (only <a href="Direct_attached_storage" class="mw-redirect" title="Direct attached storage">direct attached storage</a> for each node). Clustered file systems can provide features like location-independent addressing and redundancy which improve reliability or reduce the complexity of the other parts of the cluster. <b>Parallel file systems</b> are a type of clustered file system that spread data across multiple storage nodes, usually for redundancy or performance.<sup id="cite_ref-DellClustersWithParallelFileSystems_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DellClustersWithParallelFileSystems-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Shared-disk_file_system">Shared-disk file system</h2></div>

<p>A <b>shared-disk file system</b> uses a <a href="Storage_area_network" title="Storage area network">storage area network</a> (SAN) to allow multiple computers to gain direct disk access at the <a href="Block_(data_storage)" title="Block (data storage)">block level</a>. Access control and translation from file-level operations that applications use to block-level operations used by the SAN must take place on the client node. The most common type of clustered file system, the shared-disk file system – by adding mechanisms for <a href="Concurrency_control" title="Concurrency control">concurrency control</a> – provides a consistent and <a href="Serialization" title="Serialization">serializable</a> view of the file system, avoiding corruption and unintended <a href="Data_loss" title="Data loss">data loss</a> even when multiple clients try to access the same files at the same time. Shared-disk file-systems commonly employ some sort of <a href="Fencing_(computing)" title="Fencing (computing)">fencing</a> mechanism to prevent data corruption in case of node failures, because an unfenced device can cause data corruption if it loses communication with its sister nodes and tries to access the same information other nodes are accessing.

</p><p>The underlying storage area network may use any of a number of block-level protocols, including <a href="SCSI" title="SCSI">SCSI</a>, <a href="ISCSI" title="ISCSI">iSCSI</a>, <a href="HyperSCSI" title="HyperSCSI">HyperSCSI</a>, <a href="ATA_over_Ethernet" title="ATA over Ethernet">ATA over Ethernet</a> (AoE), <a href="Fibre_Channel" title="Fibre Channel">Fibre Channel</a>, <a href="Network_block_device" title="Network block device">network block device</a>, and <a href="InfiniBand" title="InfiniBand">InfiniBand</a>.

</p><p>There are different architectural approaches to a shared-disk filesystem. Some distribute file information across all the servers in a cluster (fully distributed).<sup id="cite_ref-SDDS_2002_Disk_Backup_Through_Algebraic_Signatures_in_Scalable_Distributed_Data_Structures_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SDDS_2002_Disk_Backup_Through_Algebraic_Signatures_in_Scalable_Distributed_Data_Structures-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><i>Distributed file systems</i> do not share <a href="Block-level_storage" title="Block-level storage">block level access</a> to the same storage but use a network <a href="Protocol_(computing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Protocol (computing)">protocol</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-SilberschatzOperatingSystemConcepts_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SilberschatzOperatingSystemConcepts-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ostep-1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ostep-1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These are commonly known as network file systems, even though they are not the only file systems that use the network to send data.<sup id="cite_ref-SunNetworkFileSystem_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SunNetworkFileSystem-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Distributed file systems can restrict access to the file system depending on <a href="Access_list" class="mw-redirect" title="Access list">access lists</a> or <a href="Capability-based_security" title="Capability-based security">capabilities</a> on both the servers and the clients, depending on how the protocol is designed.

</p><p>The difference between a distributed file system and a <a href="Distributed_data_store" title="Distributed data store">distributed data store</a> is that a distributed file system allows files to be accessed using the same interfaces and semantics as local files – for example, mounting/unmounting, listing directories, read/write at byte boundaries, system's native permission model. Distributed data stores, by contrast, require using a different API or library and have different semantics (most often those of a database).<sup id="cite_ref-Sobh_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sobh-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Design_goals">Design goals</h3></div>

<p>Distributed file systems may aim for "transparency" in a number of aspects. That is, they aim to be "invisible" to client programs, which "see" a system which is similar to a local file system. Behind the scenes, the distributed file system handles locating files, transporting data, and potentially providing other features listed below.

</p>

<ul><li><i>Access transparency</i>: clients are unaware that files are distributed and can access them in the same way as local files are accessed.</li>

<li><i>Location transparency</i>: a consistent namespace exists encompassing local as well as remote files. The name of a file does not give its location.</li>

<li><i>Concurrency transparency</i>: all clients have the same view of the state of the file system. This means that if one process is modifying a file, any other processes on the same system or remote systems that are accessing the files will see the modifications in a coherent manner.</li>

<li><i>Failure transparency</i>: the client and client programs should operate correctly after a server failure.</li>

<li><i>Heterogeneity</i>: file service should be provided across different hardware and operating system platforms.</li>

<li><i>Scalability</i>: the file system should work well in small environments (1 machine, a dozen machines) and also scale gracefully to bigger ones (hundreds through tens of thousands of systems).</li>

<li><i>Replication transparency</i>: Clients should not have to be aware of the file replication performed across multiple servers to support scalability.</li>

<li><i>Migration transparency</i>: files should be able to move between different servers without the client's knowledge.</li></ul>

<p>The <a href="Incompatible_Timesharing_System" title="Incompatible Timesharing System">Incompatible Timesharing System</a> used virtual devices for transparent inter-machine file system access in the 1960s. More file servers were developed in the 1970s.

<p>Network-attached storage (NAS) provides both storage and a file system, like a shared disk file system on top of a storage area network (SAN). NAS typically uses file-based protocols (as opposed to block-based protocols a SAN would use) such as <a href="Network_File_System_(protocol)" class="mw-redirect" title="Network File System (protocol)">NFS</a> (popular on <a href="UNIX" class="mw-redirect" title="UNIX">UNIX</a> systems), SMB/CIFS (<a href="Server_Message_Block" title="Server Message Block">Server Message Block/Common Internet File System</a>) (used with MS Windows systems), <a href="Apple_Filing_Protocol" title="Apple Filing Protocol">AFP</a> (used with <a href="Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Macintosh">Apple Macintosh</a> computers), or <a href="NetWare_Core_Protocol" title="NetWare Core Protocol">NCP</a> (used with <a href="Novell_Open_Enterprise_Server" class="mw-redirect" title="Novell Open Enterprise Server">OES</a> and <a href="NetWare" title="NetWare">Novell NetWare</a>).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Avoiding_single_point_of_failure">Avoiding single point of failure</h3></div>

<p>The failure of disk hardware or a given storage node in a cluster can create a <a href="Single_point_of_failure" title="Single point of failure">single point of failure</a> that can result in <a href="Data_loss" title="Data loss">data loss</a> or unavailability. <a href="Fault_tolerance" title="Fault tolerance">Fault tolerance</a> and high availability can be provided through <a href="Replication_(computing)" title="Replication (computing)">data replication</a> of one sort or another, so that data remains intact and available despite the failure of any single piece of equipment.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Performance">Performance</h3></div>

<p>A common <a href="Performance" title="Performance">performance</a> <a href="Measurement" title="Measurement">measurement</a> of a clustered file system is the amount of time needed to satisfy service requests. In conventional systems, this time consists of a disk-access time and a small amount of <a href="Central_processing_unit" title="Central processing unit">CPU</a>-processing time. But in a clustered file system, a remote access has additional overhead due to the distributed structure. This includes the time to deliver the request to a server, the time to deliver the response to the client, and for each direction, a CPU overhead of running the <a href="Communication_protocol" title="Communication protocol">communication protocol</a> <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Concurrency">Concurrency</h3></div>

<p>Concurrency control becomes an issue when more than one person or client is accessing the same file or block and want to update it. Hence updates to the file from one client should not interfere with access and updates from other clients. This problem is more complex with file systems due to concurrent overlapping writes, where different writers write to overlapping regions of the file concurrently.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This problem is usually handled by <a href="Concurrency_control" title="Concurrency control">concurrency control</a> or <a href="Lock_(computer_science)" title="Lock (computer science)">locking</a> which may either be built into the file system or provided by an add-on protocol.
