A Replicated File System for Wide-Area Networks
Gianluca Dini, Sape J. Mullender · 1993
In this paper we describe the design of the Huygens replicating file system for use in wide-area networks. The file system will implement full consistency in the absence of failures, attempt to provide full consistency in the presence of failures and allow reading of inconsistent data when full consistency cannot be provided. The file system will be as available as the consistency requirements allow.
