Distributed File System (DFS) is a set of client and server services that allow an organization using Microsoft Windows servers to organize many distributed SMB file shares into a distributed file system. DFS has two components to its service: Location transparency (via the namespace component) and Redundancy (via the file replication component).
In computing, a distributed file system (DFS) or network file system is any file system that allows access from multiple hosts to files shared via a computer network.This makes it possible for multiple users on multiple machines to share files and storage resources.
Server Message Block (SMB) enables file sharing, printer sharing, network browsing, and inter-process communication (through named pipes) over a computer network.SMB serves as the basis for Microsoft's Distributed File System implementation.
Some of the distributed parallel file systems use an object storage device (OSD) (in Lustre called OST) for chunks of data together with centralized metadata servers. BeeGFS is a hardware-independent parallel file system that features distributed metadata and striping of files across multiple targets, such as NVMe devices or logical volumes.
Category for distributed file systems. Distributed file systems are network file systems where the server can be distributed across several physical computer nodes. File systems that share access to the same block storage are shared disk file systems.
A distributed file system is a file system where data is distributed across multiple nodes. Distributed file system may also refer to: Shared disk file system, a different approach, also known as cluster file system. Distributed File System (Microsoft), the Microsoft distributed file system (DFS)
A distributed file system for cloud is a file system that allows many clients to have access to data and supports operations (create, delete, modify, read, write) on that data. Each data file may be partitioned into several parts called chunks .
In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access. A local file system is a capability of an operating system that services the applications running on the same computer. [1] [2] A distributed file system is a protocol that provides file access between networked computers.
