A tape library is seldom considered as a viable place for constructing a file system for a sequential write/read device. Storage virtualization technology has become a buzzword in technology circles lately, in this paper we propose a tape library file system, called TLFS. The purpose of TLFS is to maintain a consistent view of mass storage so that the user can effectively manage it. Like disk file system, TLFS provides some file system operations, such as create, delete, open, close, read and…

A Virtual Tape System Based on Storage Area Networks
TLDR
Tests showed that the VTS meets the requirements of backup under a SAN environment and supports multiple backup software and operating systems, and has broad compatibility with multiple operating systems and various kinds of backup software.
Wide-area cooperative storage with CFS
The Cooperative File System (CFS) is a new peer-to-peer read-only storage system that provides provable guarantees for the efficiency, robustness, and load-balance of file storage and retrieval. CFS…
The design of a multicast-based distributed file system
TLDR
Measurements indicate that, using a standard benchmark, JetFile performance is comparable to that of local-disk based file systems, which means it is considerably faster than commonly used distributed file systems such as NFS and AFS.
Serverless Network File Systems
The paper presents a design for serverless network file system that can dynamically distribute control processing, data storage and caching among a set of cooperating workstations. The aim is to…
Archipelago: an Island-based file system for highly available and scalable internet services
TLDR
This work describes an approach that allows a cluster file server to isolate failures so that the system can continue to serve most clients, and implemented a prototype island-based file system called Archipelago on a cluster of PCs connected by Ethernet.
Design and Implementation of a Linux SCSI Target for Storage Area Networks
TLDR
This paper describes the architecture of a set of kernel components for developing and testing storage area network transport protocols under Linux as a general prototype for network transport protocol development.
Flexible update propagation for weakly consistent replication
TLDR
The anti-entropy protocol is presented in detail, describing the design decisions and resulting features, and how it enables replica convergence, and updates can be propagated using floppy disks and similar transportable media.
Design and evaluation of a continuous consistency model for replicated services
TLDR
This paper argues that an important class of applications can tolerate relaxed consistency, but benefit from bounding the maximum rate of inconsistent access in an application-specific manner, and develops a set of metrics, Numerical Error, Order Error, and Staleness, to capture the consistency spectrum.
OceanStore: an architecture for global-scale persistent storage
TLDR
OceanStore monitoring of usage patterns allows adaptation to regional outages and denial of service attacks; monitoring also enhances performance through pro-active movement of data.
Consistency management in Deno
We describe a new replicated‐object protocol designed for use in mobile and weakly‐connected environments. The protocol differs from previous protocols in combining epidemic information propagation…
