Abstract
A distributed file system architecture, characterized as a Federated File System (FedFS), is provided as a loose clustering of local file systems existing in a plurality of cluster nodes. The distributed file system architecture is established as an ad-hoc global file space to be used by a distributed application and a separate FedFS process is created for each application. Correspondingly, the lifetime of a FedFS process is limited to the lifetime of the distributed application for which it was created. File access for files in the node cluster is provided in a location-independent manner. FedFS also supports dynamic reconfiguration, file migration and file replication. FedFS further operates on top of, and without constraint on autonomous local file systems.
