Hello All,
I am getting some problems understanding the actual
idea behind Cluster File System implementation. From
one website
http://www.stalker.com/notes/SFS.html#CFS
I got the idea that a cluster file system is a wrapper
file system. Since this cluster file system is a
wrapper file system or in other words this wrapper fs
will direct the requests to an actual fs like ext3
(the stacking concept), so we don't need a format
utility for this cluster file system which is actually
a wrapper fs and not an actual fs.
On the other hand OpenGFS
http://opengfs.sourceforge.net/
which is also a cluster file system has its own format
utility and disk layout.
Now what is exactly the definition of a cluster file
system. I need some help understading the differences.
Thanks,
Uzair Lakhani,
Karachi, Pakistan.
