Abstract: Distributed file systems nowadays need to provide for fault tolerance. This is typically achieved with the replication of files. Existing approaches to the construction of replicated file systems sacrifice strong semantics (i.e., the guarantees the systems make to running computations when failures occur and/or files are accessed concurrently). This is done mainly for efficiency reasons. This paper puts forward a replicated file system protocol that enforces strong consistency semantics.... (Update)

...logging and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to reduce the overhead of the consistency protocol. In a recent distributed file system [25], the overhead is reduced by distributing load across servers and amortizing the costs of individual operations with file sessions. In...
