The Meta-Data Management and Access Control in the Linux Cluster File System(LCFS)
Zhong Liu · Computer Engineering and Science · 2005
The meta-data of file systems include the primary information of files and the directory structure. In the large scale file systems based on the cluster technology, the efficient management of meta-data is critical. Firstly, we define the three classes of meta-data management protocols and propose the clustered meta-data server prototype, and then analyse and compare the merits and demerits of different implementation schemes.
