Abstract: Selective file replication is a key component of any highly reliable, large scale distributed file system. This paper describes the design and implementation of a file replication mechanism which is unique in at least two important ways. First, the service is provided via a stackable layers architecture. This structure permits replication to coexist with other extended filing environment features. Further, it implements the replication facility in a way that is independent of the underlying...

...by network communication. We lay out a proposal for the stackable layers interface as part of Ficus. 5 The Ficus Project Ficus [13] is a set of software packages that may be installed at the VFS layer of a file system, where Sun s Network File System [15] is typically...

.... work by Rosenthal [9] has proposed a stackable layers architecture for distributed file systems that we believe achieves these goals [7, 4, 3]. We have evaluated the stackable layers approach by designing, building, and using several new layers for the Unix file system. Most...
