List of file systems

List of file systems

The following lists identify, characterize and link to more thorough information on computer file systems.

Many older operating systems support only their one "native" file system, which does not bear any name apart from the name of the operating system itself. Examples of such include the CP/M file system and the Apple DOS file system. These unnamed file systems don't appear in the following list.

Disk file systems

Disk file systems are usually stream-oriented. Files in a stream-oriented file system are sequences of bytes, often featuring fully random-access read, write, and modify operations.

Flash memory / solid state media file systems

Solid state media like Flash memory are similar to disks in their interfaces, but have different problems. While eliminating seek times, they require special handling such as Wear leveling and Error detection and correction algorithms.

Record-oriented file systems

In Record-oriented file systems files are stored as a collection of records. They are typically associated with mainframe and minicomputer operating systems. Programs read and write whole records, rather than bytes or arbitrary byte ranges, and can seek to a record boundary but not within records. The more sophisticated record-oriented file systems have more in common with simple databases than with other file systems.
*Files-11 – early versions were record-oriented; support for "streams" was added later
*Virtual storage access method (VSAM) – for IBM's z/OS and z/VSE operating systems

*Structured File Server (SFS) — A record-oriented file system from IBM, originally part of the Encina [http://www.zois.co.uk/tpm/encina.html] system, now integrated into CICS Transaction Server. [http://www-306.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/txseries/]
* RSD (record sequential delimited) - A record-oriented file system from IBM [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v7v91/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cbl.doc/rpfio50.htm]

Shared disk file systems

Shared disk file systems (also called "shared storage file systems", SAN file system or even "cluster file systems") are primarily used in a storage area network where all nodes directly access the block storage where the file system is located. This makes it possible for nodes to fail without affecting access to the file system from the other nodes. Shared disk file systems are normally used in a high-availability cluster together with storage on hardware RAID. Shared disk file systems normally do not scale over 64 or 128 nodes.

Shared disk file systems may be symmetric where metadata is distributed among the nodes or asymmetric with centralized metadata servers.

The current world record in file system performance (January 2006) is held by GPFS from IBM with 134 GB/s sustained read/write to a single file on the ASC Purple at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the current third fastest supercomputer.

Distributed file systems

Distributed file systems are also called "network file systems". Many implementations have been made, they are location dependent and they have access control lists (ACLs), unless otherwise stated below.

* Andrew File System (AFS) is scalable and location independent, has a heavy client cache and uses Kerberos for authentication. Implementations include the original from IBM (earlier Transarc), Arla and OpenAFS.

Distributed fault tolerant file systems

Distributed fault tolerant replication of data between nodes (between servers or servers/clients) for high availability and offline (disconnected) operation.

* Coda from Carnegie Mellon University focuses on bandwidth-adaptive operation (including disconnected operation) using a client-side cache for mobile computing. It is a descendant of AFS-2. It is available for Linux under the GPL.

Distributed parallel file systems

Distributed parallel file systems stripe data over multiple servers for high performance. They are normally used in high-performance computing (HPC).

Some of the distributed parallel file systems use object storage device (OSD) (In Lustre called OST) for chunks of data together with centralized metadata servers.

* Ceph from University of California, Santa Cruz. (Fault-tolerance in their roadmap.) Available for Linux under LGPL from Sourceforge.

Available for Linux under GPL, and for Microsoft Windows under a proprietary license. A version for Solaris is also under development.
* Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS, PVFS2). Available for Linux under GPL.
* Starfish is a POSIX-compatible, N-way redundant file system created by Digital Bazaar Inc. and published under a pseudo-open source license. Available for Linux and Mac OS. Windows support is available via Samba.
* XtreemFS [http://www.xtreemfs.com] is a free and open-source file system (GPL) that runs on various Linux distributions and OS X. It is designed for federated installations and follows an object-based architecture that supports a per-file striping width and allows to scale the file system by adding more storage and metadata servers. Replication is in the roadmap.

Distributed parallel fault tolerant file systems

Distributed file systems, which also are parallel and fault tolerant, stripe and replicate data over multiple servers for high performance and to maintain data integrity. Even if a server fails no data is lost. The file systems are used in both high-performance computing (HPC) and high-availability clusters.
