Networked File System CS Introduction to Operating Systems

Remote File Systems Often useful to allow many users access to the same file system –shared files everyone uses –can have a much larger storage space than a single computer –easier to protect against failure of the system

Remote File Systems Two major issues with remote file systems –performance can be awful have to traverse a network to get data –recovery what if the server crashes in the middle of a write what if the client crashes –consistency what if two people are simultaneously changing file

Networked File System (NFS) Major Goals –machine and OS independent –simple crash recovery –transparent access don’t need to re-write current programs to use NFS –support Unix semantics this doesn’t happen perfectly –reasonable performance 80% of a local drive

Terminology Server –contains all of the files and directories –responsible for maintaining the file system Client –requester of directory and file information –does the actual reading and writing of files file handle –a way to access a file without giving the file name –similar to a file descriptor on a local file system

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Method of getting one machine to run code on behalf of another machine Package up remote procedure name and parameters and send across the network Receiving machine runs procedure, packages up results, and sends them back Very similar to a function call in a high level programming language

RPC Initial implementations of RPC used the UDP communication protocol –if no response in a certain amount of time, just re-send the request Today both UDP and TCP are used –implemented on top of the IP protocol

NFS Protocol NFS is implemented using RPC –a client issues a request to the server by placing all necessary information to complete the request in the parameters –RPC calls are synchronous client blocks until the server sends a response back This looks exactly like a procedure call on a local system –exactly what a user is used to seeing when they make a system call

NFS Protocol NFS protocol is stateless –each procedure call by a client contains all the necessary information to complete an operation –server doesn’t need to maintain any information about what is at the clients site –server also doesn’t keep track of any past requests This makes crash recovery very simple

Crash Recovery If a server crashes –just reboot the server –client just keeps sending its request until the server is brought back on-line –remember, RPC is synchronous If a client crashes –no recovery is necessary at all –when client comes back up it just starts running program again

Crash Recovery In a system that maintains state –both client and server must be able to detect a crash by the other –if client crashes server discards all changes made by client –if server crashes client must rebuild the servers state

NFS Protocol There are a set of standard NFS procedures Here are a few of the major ones –lookup(dirfh, name) returns (fh, attr) –create(dirfh, name, attr) returns (newfh, attr) –remove(dirfh, name) returns (status) –read(fh, offset, count) returns (attr, data) –write(fh, offset, count, data) returns (attr) Notice that read and write require the offset –this prevents server from maintaining a file ptr a file ptr would be client state

File Handle Consists of the following – NFS reuses inodes after a file has been deleted May be possible to hand out a file handle and then have the file deleted When original file handle comes back to server, it needs to know it is for an old, deleted file

Virtual File System Major goal of NFS is system independence Concept of the Virtual File System (VFS) –this is an interface that the client side must implement –if implemented properly, the client can then communicate with the NFS server regardless of what type of system each is Can allow different file systems to live on the same client

Virtual Node (vnode) An abstraction of a file or directory –a “virtual inode” Provides a common interface to a file This must also be implemented by the client Allows files on different types of file systems to accessed with the same system calls

vnode Here is a small sampling of the operations –open(vnode, flags) –close(vnode, flags) –rdwr(vnode, uio, rwflag, flags) –create(dvnode, name, attr, excl, mode) –link(vnode, todvnode, toname) –symlink(dvnode, name, attr, to_name)

VFS ClientServer System Calls vnode / VFS DOS FSext2 FSNFS network System Calls vnode / VFS server routines RPC floppy drive hard drive

Pathname Traversal Break name into components and call lookup for each component Requires multiple calls to lookup for a single pathname –don’t pass entire path name into lookup because of mounting issues –mounting is independent protocol from NFS can’t be separated from the architecture Seems slow so…use cache of directory entries

Increasing Performance Client caches file and directory data in memory Use a larger packet size –less traffic for large reads or writes Fixed some routines to do less memory copying Cache client attributes –this prevents calls to server to get attributes –server notifies client if attributes change

Increasing Performance Cache directory entries –allows for fast pathname traversal For small executable files –send the entire file on execution –versus demand page-in of executable file –most small executable files touch all pages of the file –a form of read-ahead

Hard Issues Authentication –user passes uid and gid on each call –very large number of uid’s and gid’s on a distributed system –NFS uses a yellow pages just a big database of users and their rights Concurrent Access –what if two users open a file at the same time? –could get interleaved writes especially if they are large writes this is different from Unix semantics

Hard Issues Open File Semantics –what if a user opens a file and then deletes it? –in Unix, just keep the file open and let the user read and write it when the file is closed, the file is deleted –in NFS, rename the file this sort of deletes the old version of it –when file is closed, client kernel is responsible for deleting it –if system crashes in between, end up with a garbage file in the file system

Major Problem with NFS Write performance is slow While clients may buffer writes, a write to the server is synchronous –no DMA to hide the latency of a write This is necessary to maintain statelessness of the server and client Could add non-volatile RAM to the server –expensive
