The BBFS Filesystem Model
Bruce K. Hillyer, B.S. Robinson · ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review · 1992
BBFS is a broadband filesystem research effort to support emerging applications that place intense demands on communications, computation, and data storage. Past research often addresses these needs with new special-purpose filesystems, such as transactional filesystems, replicated filesystems, real-time filesystems, and multimedia filesystems. A goal of BBFS is to be extensible so new mechanisms can be incorporated into a stable filesystem model.
