Hi all, A bit off topic, but as NFSv4 is implementing cross-server referrals, the prospect of having a central server that just makes referrals to other (data-hosting) servers as a sort of global file system namespace has come up, and I offered to find a reference to use for discussion of the prior work. For context, that reference would be used from https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-rfc5661sesqui-msns-02#section-11.5.6 . I did find https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya/docdir/spasojevic-tocs-afs-measurement-1996.pdf which has some discussion of this topic in the scope of a broader retrospective on the wide-area filesystem, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a more-focused reference for the global nature of the namespace.
Thanks, Ben _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
