CorsairFS: A Distributed File System for Campus Network
Yang Guangwen · Xi'an Jiaotong Daxue xuebao · 2009
The Corsair file system(CorsairFS),a scalable distributed file system for data sharing and online storage in campus network or intranet,is proposed.Adopting scalable architecture,chunk-based storage,and register/heartbeat mechanism,both the system scalability and manageability are improved.And decoupling the data storage and metadata management,the CorsairFS facilitates the arbitrary reorganization of the namespace,and supports multiple different data view for users.The experimental results demonstrate that the system can use the storage spaces more efficiently and achieve better transfer performance,especially for the cases with large number of small files.
