The report describes a methodology for the analysis and synthesis of modern general purpose file systems. The two basic concepts developed are (1) establishment of a uniform representation of a file's structure in the form of virtual memory or segmentation and (2) determination of a hierarchy of logical transformations within a file system. These concepts are used together to form a strictly hierarchical organization (after Dijkstra) such that each transformation can be described as a function of its lower neighboring transformation. In a sense, the complex file system is built up by the composition of simple functional transformations. To illustrate the specifics of the design process, a file system is synthesized for an environment including a multi-computer network, structured file directories, and removable volumes.

This book is intended as a textbook for a one-semester course in file systems. The course is similar in content to the ACM curriculum '78 course CS 5, but differs in that a course in data structures is assumed as a prerequisite. Many of the standard topics of a data structures course are either directly applicable to file system problems, or are very similar to the structures and algorithms used in file systems, making a good foundation for the study of files. A data structure is defined, then algorithms and applications are discovered that are appropriate to the structure. File systems is a natural extension of data structures both in subject matter and methods.

The inside scoop on a leading-edge data storage technology The rapid growth of e-commerce and the need to have all kinds of applications operating at top speed at the same time, all on a 24/7 basis while connected to the Internet, is overwhelming traditional data storage methods. The solution? Storage Area Networks (SANs)--the data communications technology that's expected to revolutionize distributed computing. Written by top technology experts at VERITAS Software Global Corporation, this book takes readers through all facets of storage networking, explaining how a SAN can help consolidate conventional server storage onto networks, how it makes applications highly available no matter how much data is being stored, and how this in turn makes data access and management faster and easier. System and network managers considering storage networking for their enterprises, as well as application developers and IT staff, will find invaluable advice on the design and deployment of the technology and how it works. Detailed, up-to-date coverage includes: The evolution of the technology and what is expected from SANs Killer applications for SANs Full coverage of storage networking and what it means for the enterprise's information processing architecture Individual chapters devoted to the storage, network, and software components of storage networking Issues for implementation and adoption
