Integration--supporting multiple application classes with heterogeneous requirements--is an emerging trend in networks, file systems, and operating systems. In this paper, we eval...
We present the Network File System with Cluster Delegation (NFS-CD), an enhancement to the NFSv4 that reduces server load and increases the scalability of distributed file systems ...
Abstract-- Sharing data among collaborators in widely distributed systems remains a challenge due to limitations with existing methods for defining groups across administrative dom...
A consistent backup, preserving data integrity across files in a file system, is of utmost importance for the purpose of correctness and minimizing system downtime during the proc...
The evolution of the Andrew File System (AFS) into a wide-area distributed file system has encouraged collaboration and information dissemination on a much broader scale than ever...
Traditional file system development is difficult. Stackable file systems promise to ease the development of file systems by offering a mechanism for incremental development. Unfor...
Stackable file systems can provide extensible file system functionality with minimal performance overhead and development cost. However, previous approaches provide only limited f...

File system traces have been used for years to analyze user behavior and system software behavior, leading to advances in file system and storage technologies. Existing traces, ho...
Fault-tolerant, replicated file systems are a crucial component of today's data centers. Despite their huge complexity, these systems are typically specified only in brief pr...
We examine the security requirements for creating a Deniable File System (DFS), and the efficacy with which the TrueCrypt disk-encryption software meets those requirements. We fin...
