Seamless Remote Traversal Of Multiple Nfsv4 Exported File Systems
US Patent:
7389298, Jun 17, 2008
Filed:
Nov 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/992429
Inventors:
William Boyd Brown - Austin TX, US
Rodney Carlton Burnett - Austin TX, US
Rodney Carlton Burnett - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
707100, 707 1, 707102, 707200, 709218
Abstract:
A method for transparently navigating through exported file system namespaces on a server using a single mount. When an exported file system is mounted onto a client, the client creates a file system ID structure for the exported file system, wherein the file system ID structure is populated with unique properties of the exported file system, and wherein the unique properties include a file system ID. The client also creates an internal virtual file system structure for the exported file system ID structure, wherein the internal virtual file system structure includes a virtual file system ID. Once the file system and virtual file system structures are created, the client links the file system objects created within the mount to the file system ID structure until a user moves from one exported file system to a second exported file system and a new file system ID is detected.

International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709219
Abstract:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for transmitting data. Transmission of the data is requested from a first data processing system to a second data processing system. The first data processing system uses a first network file system version and the second data processing system uses a second network file system version. A request is formed by requesting transmission of the data. The request is in a first protocol associated with the first network file system version. The request is received at a proxy server before transmitting the request from the first data processing system to the second data processing system. The request is converted at the proxy server to a second request. The second request is in a second protocol associated with the second network file system version. The second request is transmitted to the second data processing system and stored in a memory.
Method, System And Program Product For Presenting Exported Hierarchical File System Information
US Patent:
2006012, Jun 15, 2006
Filed:
Dec 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/011247
Inventors:
William Brown - Austin TX, US

Rodney Burnett - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707010000
Abstract:
A technique for providing an accurate view of an exported file system structure. An in-memory filesystem is maintained as a combination of separate filesystems, each corresponding to a physical file system on the server. Directories in the in-memory, or pseudo, filesystems are also coupled with an existing directory in the physical filesystems on the server which is exporting the file system(s) or portions thereof. This allows the server to present a filesystem tree to a client which includes the files explicitly exported by a system administrator, and also maintain the device and attributes information of each file regardless of it being an actual file in the physical filesystem or a node in the in-memory pseudo filesystem. Clients can thus view the exported filesystem tree as a collection of filesystems. For each filesystem seen by the client, each file/directory will depict the same set of attributes and operations as are available on the exporting server.
System That Maintains Objects Created And Modified Within Designated Directories On A Per-Client Basis In A Network Filesystem
US Patent:
2010026, Oct 21, 2010
Filed:
Apr 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/425376
Inventors:
William B. Brown - Austin TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/30, G06F 7/00
US Classification:
707781, 707E1701, 707E17032
Abstract:
Systems that maintain objects created and modified within designated directories on a per-client basis in a network filesystem include a file server having a local processor, memory operably connected to the local processor, a filesystem including main directories loaded into the memory, and a list of operations loaded into the memory; at least one client operably connected to the server having a remote processor and memory operably connected to the remote processor; wherein the file server has designated at least one of the main directories as a per-client writable directory; and wherein the file server has exported the filesystem read-only to at least one client.

Implementing Adaptive Buffer Management On Network Fetches Of Directory Contents And Object Attributes
US Patent:

Rodney C. Burnett - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
7071041, 711118
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer-usable medium for implementing a file directory in a server. An application including a buffer for retrieving and storing at least one entry is interfaced with the file directory. Utilizing a determined average filename length, an estimate of a number of entries among the collection of entries that can be stored by the buffer is determined. In response to determining at least one attribute data field has been requested, the number of entries that can be stored by the buffer is recalculated. Recalculating the number of entries includes determining an amount of data required for storing the collection of filenames, a collection of fixed-length attribute data fields, and a collection of variable-length attribute data fields. The recalculated number of entries is then requested from the file directory, and the buffer is loaded, with the recalculated number of entries.

US Classification:
707822, 707828
Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus for exporting file systems without having to mount them first are provided. Most Unix-based servers usually mount some system operation critical files at startup. Thus, directories have to be mounted. One or more of these directories are usually used as mount points for mounting other file systems when needed. An extended attribute file is used to provide all information needed to export a file system. Thus, a server need not mount a file system to obtain this information. That is on startup, a server needs only refer to these extended attribute files to obtain the information needed to export the file systems.
