1、Chapter 11:File System Implementation,Chapter Objectives,To describe the details of implementing local file systems and directory structuresTo describe the implementation of remote file systemsTo discuss block allocation and free-block algorithms and trade-offs,Content Overview,File-System Structure

14、virtual disk,or RAM disk,Page Cache,A page cache caches pages rather than disk blocks using virtual memory techniquesMemory-mapped I/O uses a page cacheRoutine I/O through the file system uses the buffer(disk)cacheThis leads to the following figure,I/O Without a Unified Buffer Cache,Unified Buffer C

15、ache,A unified buffer cache uses the same page cache to cache both memory-mapped pages and ordinary file system I/O,I/O Using a Unified Buffer Cache,11.7 Recovery,Consistency checking compares data in directory structure with data blocks on disk,and tries to fix inconsistenciesUse system programs to

16、 back up data from disk to another storage device(floppy disk,magnetic tape,other magnetic disk,optical)Recover lost file or disk by restoring data from backup,11.8 Log Structured File Systems,Log structured(or journaling)file systems record each update to the file system as a transactionAll transac

19、Sun workstations using an unreliable datagram protocol(UDP/IP protocol and Ethernet,NFS(Cont.),Interconnected workstations viewed as a set of independent machines with independent file systems,which allows sharing among these file systems in a transparent mannerA remote directory is mounted over a l

20、ocal file system directory The mounted directory looks like an integral subtree of the local file system,replacing the subtree descending from the local directorySpecification of the remote directory for the mount operation is nontransparent;the host name of the remote directory has to be provided F

21、iles in the remote directory can then be accessed in a transparent mannerSubject to access-rights accreditation,potentially any file system(or directory within a file system),can be mounted remotely on top of any local directory,NFS(Cont.),NFS is designed to operate in a heterogeneous environment of

22、 different machines,operating systems,and network architectures;the NFS specifications independent of these mediaThis independence is achieved through the use of RPC primitives built on top of an External Data Representation(XDR)protocol used between two implementation-independent interfacesThe NFS

23、specification distinguishes between the services provided by a mount mechanism and the actual remote-file-access services,Three Independent File Systems,Mounting in NFS,Mounts,Cascading mounts,NFS Mount Protocol,Establishes initial logical connection between server and clientMount operation includes

24、 name of remote directory to be mounted and name of server machine storing itMount request is mapped to corresponding RPC and forwarded to mount server running on server machine Export list specifies local file systems that server exports for mounting,along with names of machines that are permitted

25、to mount them Following a mount request that conforms to its export list,the server returns a file handlea key for further accessesFile handle a file-system identifier,and an inode number to identify the mounted directory within the exported file systemThe mount operation changes only the users view

26、 and does not affect the server side,NFS Protocol,Provides a set of remote procedure calls for remote file operations.The procedures support the following operations:searching for a file within a directory reading a set of directory entries manipulating links and directories accessing file attribute

27、sreading and writing filesNFS servers are stateless;each request has to provide a full set of arguments(NFS V4 is just coming available very different,stateful)Modified data must be committed to the servers disk before results are returned to the client(lose advantages of caching)The NFS protocol do

30、ecture,NFS Path-Name Translation,Performed by breaking the path into component names and performing a separate NFS lookup call for every pair of component name and directory vnodeTo make lookup faster,a directory name lookup cache on the clients side holds the vnodes for remote directory names,NFS R

31、emote Operations,Nearly one-to-one correspondence between regular UNIX system calls and the NFS protocol RPCs(except opening and closing files)NFS adheres to the remote-service paradigm,but employs buffering and caching techniques for the sake of performance File-blocks cache when a file is opened,t
