All computing environments have file systems. A distributed -file system takes advantage of the interconnected nature of the network -by storing files on more than one computer in the network and making -them accessible to all of them. In other words, the responsibility for -file storage and delivery is "distributed" among multiple machines -instead of relying on only one.</p> -<p><b>File Server Machines</b></p> -<p>File server machines store the files in the distributed file -system, and a server process running on the file server machine delivers -and receives files.</p> -<p><b>Volumes</b></p> -<p>A volume is a conceptual container for a set of related files -that keeps them all together on one file server machine partition. -Volumes can vary in size, but are (by definition) smaller than a -partition. You can maintain maximum system efficiency by moving volumes -to keep the load balanced evenly among the different machines. If a -partition becomes full, the small size of individual volumes makes it -easy to find enough room on other machines for them. Each volume -corresponds logically to a directory in the file tree and keeps -together, on a single partition, all the data that makes up the files in -the directory (including possible subdirectories). By maintaining (for -example) a separate volume for each user's home directory, you keep all -of the user's files together, but separate from those of other users. -This is an administrative convenience that is impossible if the -partition is the smallest unit of storage.</p> - -</body> -</html>
