- Elements of a Scalable Network File System Protocol
- Standardized Network File System protocols (e.g. NFS, CIFS) have been highly successful in enabling data to be shared among multiple clients and across heterogeneous computing platforms. The key to this success is that the protocols present data objects at a level of abstraction at which there is a broad common...

- Building a Scalable NFS Server With GPFS
- As server farms continue to get larger the need for a scalable network file system based on the industry standard NFS protocols becomes more apparent. Linux NFS will not handle these large server farms from a single server. More robust storage subsystems are prohibitively expensive and therefore defeat one of...

- FileWall: A Firewall for Network File Systems
- Access control in network file systems relies on primitive mechanisms like Access Control Lists and permission bits, which are not enough when operating in a hostile network environment. Network middleboxes, e.g., firewalls, completely ignore file system semantics when defining policies. Therefore, implementing simple context-aware access policies requires modifications to file...
