....that falls short of full serializability . The QuickSilver transaction management toolkit consists of several pieces: transactional IPC, a transaction manager, and a log manager. We will briefly describe each component of the toolkit in the remainder of this section. An earlier paper [10] t Following the terminology introduced by Gray et al. 6] the QuickSilver file system provides degree 2 consistency for file updates and degree 1 consistency on directories. presents the overall architecture of transaction management in QuickSilver and describes the toolkit in more detail. ....

....the log. The second implementation (LFFS wafs) records log records in a separate stand alone service, a write ahead file system (WAFS) In theory, this stand alone logging service could be used by other clients, such as a database management system, as was done in the Quicksilver operating system [Haskin88]. 3.1 LFFS file LFFS file augments FFS with support for write ahead logging by linking logging code into the same hooks used for the Soft Updates integration. Most of these hooks call back into the logging code to describe a meta data update, which is then recorded in the log. The log is stored ....

....Classical CBCAST implementations [11] of replication strictly rely on message orderings, without incorporating the application level information used for mirroring in our infrastructure. Our checkpointing implementation relies on past work on transactional processing in distributed systems [18, 19]. Slice uses mirroring techniques to reliably mirror files and thereby support failure atomic file operations in a distributed, scalable network storage system [20] The TACT [21] project also chooses replication as a means of increasing service availability, and it provides a middleware layer ....

....updates will never be committed to storage without the hash being computed and committed beforehand. For high performance, PFS commits block hashes and meta data update (journal) records to the same log. The idea of shared logging was investigated within the Quicksilver operating system project [9]. Quicksilver was a distributed microkernel operating system built at IBM research in the mid 1980s for System 6000 workstations. The salient feature of Quicksilver was its use of transactions for recovery, failure notification, and resource reclamation. As a microkernel, Quicksilver typically ....

Regarding the architectural integration of dynamic actions as a manager we assume the same structure that is proposed in the X Open model for distributed transaction processing and that is also applied for the distributed transaction facilities in the QuickSilver distributed operating system [15] as well as for the PROFEMO transaction mechanism which is developed further and integrated in such an architecture in the RelaX project [16] It is sketched below in Fig. 5.1 for one node.

Thus, a logging service is a basic tool for reliability in distributed systems [4, 5] Moreover, an increasing number of applications implement logs customized to their specific needs.

....without any in memory information. However, log end location cannot be written at a fixed position for each write of a record set. Such an approach would involve two writes on different positions for each data write on the physical log and would imply disastrous performance. A traditional solution [6, 7] is to fill the free space with zeroes and to find the last non zeroed sector with a binary search. The drawback of this approach is the cost of writing zeroes after a compaction, or at medium initialization. Moreover, large records filled with zeroes complicate the search algorithm. Our solution ....

....iii 1 Introduction A transaction is realised as an abstraction of an atomic and reliable execution of a program. This explains why transactions have applicability not only in the application level as in the case of traditional database management system but also in system level as discussed in [8, 14, 22, 23, 46]. In the design and implementation of the RHODOS distributed file facility, the provision of transaction semantics presents a consistent view of the distributed file facility and makes RHODOS a very reliable and performance oriented distributed system [35] Some of the desirable features of ....

There are several systems which use concepts similar to Fluke s atomic system call API in different areas of operating systems. Quicksilver [17] and Nonstop [3] are transactional operating systems; in both of these systems, the kernel provides primitives for maintaining transactional semantics in a distributed system. In this way, transactional semantics are provided for high level services such as file operations even though the basic ....
