GMount: Building Ad-hoc Distributed File Systems by GXP and SSHFS-MUX
نویسندگان
چکیده
GMount is a file sharing utility built by using GXP and SSHFS-MUX for the wide-area Grid environments. By GMount, non-privilege users are able to build their own ad-hoc distributed file systems in seconds. The file lookup in GMount can be efficient in terms of communication cost if the network topology is given. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of GMount, as well as its evaluation on a large scale Grid platform — InTrigger.

Fuse Sshfs Handyfs: a Simple Ad-hoc Distributed File System Only Using Fuse and Sshfs
HandyFS provides a simple and efficient interface to enable user ad-hoc merge many remote directory trees (source directory) on distributed machines into one single directory hierarchy (target directory). All operations on the target directory are mapped to corresponding individual source directory. Source directories can be add/remove dynamically at runtime and these changes are reflected to t...
متن کاملPartitionable Mobile File System over Ad-Hoc Networks
Most peer-to-peer file storage sharing systems work on wired networks. Due to the multi-hop wireless communication nature in ad-hoc networks, the development of mobile ad-hoc network file storage sharing system faces many challenges. In this paper, a hypothetical partitionable mobile file system (PMFS) is proposed. This new PMFS is a distributed file storing/sharing system built on partitionabl...

متن کاملHow to Implement DHTs in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks?
Recently, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) such as CAN, Chord, Pastry and Tapestry have been proposed as a novel platform for building a variety of scalable and robust distributed applications for the Internet, such as distributed storage systems, application level multicast, and content-based full-text search. A DHT substrate shields many difficult issues including fault-tolerance, locating obje...

Managing failures and configuring systems properly are of critical importance for robust distributed services. Unfortunately, protocols offering strong fault-tolerance guarantees are generally too costly and insensitive to performance criteria. Yet, system management in practice is often ad-hoc and ill-defined, leading to under-utilized capacity or adverse effects from poorly-behaving machines....
