XFS is a high-performance 64-bit journaling file system created by Silicon Graphics, Inc (SGI) in 1993. [7] It was the default file system in SGI's IRIX operating system starting with its version 5.3.
In computing, the Global File System 2 (GFS2) is a shared-disk file system for Linux computer clusters. GFS2 allows all members of a cluster to have direct concurrent access to the same shared block storage, in contrast to distributed file systems which distribute data throughout the cluster. GFS2 can also be used as a local file system on a ...
Unionfs is a filesystem service for Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD which implements a union mount for other file systems.It allows files and directories of separate file systems, known as branches, to be transparently overlaid, forming a single coherent file system.
File Access Listener (FAL) is an implementation of the Data Access Protocol (DAP) which is part of the DECnet suite of network protocols created by Digital Equipment Corporation. Magma, developed by Tx0. MapR FS is a distributed high-performance file system that exhibits file, table and messaging APIs.
The CXFS file system (Clustered XFS) is a proprietary shared disk file system designed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) specifically to be used in a storage area network (SAN) environment. A significant difference between CXFS and other shared disk file systems is that data and metadata are managed separately from each other.
A file system with a logical journal still recovers quickly after a crash, but may allow unjournaled file data and journaled metadata to fall out of sync with each other, causing data corruption. For example, appending to a file may involve three separate writes to: The file's inode, to note in the file's metadata that its size has increased.
When a file with setuid is executed, the resulting process will assume the effective user ID given to the owner class. This enables users to be treated temporarily as root (or another user). The set group ID, setgid, or SGID permission. When a file with setgid is executed, the resulting process will assume the group ID given to the group class ...
OverlayFS is a union mount filesystem implementation for Linux. It combines multiple different underlying mount points into one, resulting in single directory structure that contains underlying files and sub-directories from all sources.
