Abstract: There are some constraints inherent in the NFS^TM protocol that result in performance limitations for high performance workstation environments. This paper discusses an NFS-like protocol named Not Quite NFS (NQNFS), designed to address some of these limitations. This protocol provides full cache consistency during normal operation, while permitting more effective client-side caching in an effort to improve performance. There are also a variety of minor protocol changes, in order to resolve... (Update)

...clients to defer writes and by eliminating the need for clients to poll the server to detect file changes. The second effort is NQNFS [Macklem94], which defines extensions to NFS Version 2 that are similar to those found in NFS Version 3. Size and offset fields were widened to...
...guarantees. For the file 11 system virtual device there are many alternatives for supporting cache consistency among clients [7, 9, 11, 17, 19]. 5. MOSS services We are planning three MOSS services to validate our design. The first is the MOSS Local Environment Service...
