    NFS allows users to access and use files stored on remote machines over a network as if they were stored locally. It builds on ONC RPC and uses a client-server model where the NFS client makes RPC requests to access files on the NFS server. NFS has gone through several versions to improve performance, support larger files, and add security features. While flexible and useful for sharing files across networks, NFS can be slower than local disks and has security and complexity issues.

    What is File System?
    • A file system is a hierarchical structure (file tree) of
    files and directories.
    • This file tree uses directories to organize data and
    programs into groups, allowing the management of
    several directories and files at one time.
    • Some tasks are performed more efficiently on a file
    system than on each directory within the file
    system.
    What is Network File System?
    • NFS developed by SUN Microsystems for use on its
    UNIX-based workstations.
    • A distributed file system
    • Allows users to access files and directories located
    on remote computers
    • But, data potentially stored on another machine.
    • NFS builds on the Open Network Computing
    Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) system
    Continue…
    Mechanism for storing files on a network.
    Allows users to ‘Share’ a directory.
    NFS most commonly used with UNIX systems.
    Other software platforms:
    -Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, etc.

    Major Goals:
    -simple crash recovery
    -reasonable performance :80% of a local drive
    Versions and Variations
    Version 1 and Version 2
    V1 Sun used only for in-house experimental
    purposes
    Did not release it to the public
    V2 of the protocol originally operated entirely
    over UDP and was meant to keep the protocol
    stateless, with locking (for example)
    implemented outside of the core protocol.
    Both suffered from performance problems
    Both suffered from security problems
    security dependant upon IP address
    Version 3
    NFS v3 can operate across TCP as well as
    UDP
    Support for asynchronous writes on the server
    Obtains multiple file name, handles and
    attributes
    Support for 64-bit file sizes and offsets
    Handle files larger than 4 gigabytes (GB)
    Improves performance, and allowed it to work
    more reliably across the Internet
    Version 4
    Currently version 2 and version 3
    protocols are in use with version 4 under
    consideration for a standard
    includes more performance
    improvements
    Mandates strong security
    introduces a stateful protocol
    developed with the IETF (Internet
    Engineering Task Force)
    NFS Architecture

    File NFS Client


    System
    NFS Protocol
    RPC request Action
    CREATE Creates (or truncates) a file in the directory

    LINK Creates a hard link

    LOOKUP Looks up a file in the directory

    MKDIR Makes a directory

    READADDR Reads the contents of a directory

    REMOVE Removes a file in the directory

    RENAME Renames a file in the directory

    RMDIR Removes a directory

    SYMLINK Creates a symbolic link


    RPC request Action

    GETATTR Get file attribute

    SETATTR Set file attribute

    LOOKUP File name search

    ACCESS Check access

    READ Read file

    WRITE Write to the file

    CREATE Create file

    REMOVE Remove file

    RENAME Rename file


    Advantages
    stateless server and client
    server can be rebooted and user on client
    might be unaware of the reboot
    client/server distinction occurs at the
    application/user level not the system level
    highly flexible, so we need to be disciplined
    in our administration/configuration
    Disadvantage
    uses RPC authentication
    easily spoofed
    filesystem data is transmitted in cleartext
    Data could be copied
    Network slower than local disk
    Complexity, Security issues.
    Conclusion

    New technologies open up new


    possibilities for network file systems
    Cost of increased traffic over Ethernet
    may cause problems for xFS,
    cooperative caching.
