VFS
“The Virtual File System (otherwise known as the
Virtual Filesystem Switch) is the software layer in the
kernel that provides the filesystem interface to
userspace programmes. It also provides an
abstraction within the kernel which allows different
filesystem implementations to co-exist.”
Richard Gooch in documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt
VFS is quite different from the very complex, rich “IFS” interface that
Windows NT, 2000 and XP provide. Many Unixes support a VFS like
interface to filesystem driver software
Linux Filesystems
•
40 Filesystems in 2.4.18, mostly local
•
2 Added by 2.5.7: driverfs and IBM’s JFS (and
expand_fs is gone)
•
RAMFS in Linux 2.4 is a good example of a minimal,
cleanly written filesystem
•
Network filesystems unfortunately are much more
complicated for Linux see include/linux/fs.h to see a
complete list of the Linux filesystems
–
NFS, NCPFS, SMBFS, Coda, Intermezzo
•
I am writing a CIFS VFS (smbfs overlaps slightly)
•
AFS and GFS (not in the main tree) are also important
Filesystems are still critical
•
In this Internet era
•
… despite databases
•
… despite new storage paradigms
•
“Traditional” Filesystems are still critical and are being actively
developed, enhanced improved
•
NAS (and hybrid NAS/SAN) products and management software is
increasing in importance
•
Storage (especially network storage requirements) is growing faster
than processor requirements
•
The goal: make network storage so reliable, fast, secure, and easy to operate
that users hardly ever think about it. (the industry has a long way to go,
fortunately for future grads)
… and they keep changing. Note:
Linux 2.5 Filesystem changes
•
See Documentation/filesystems/porting for a
complete list
•
BKL (Big Kernel Lock) taken in fewer places for
improved performance
•
Read_super (called eventually from do_mount)
is gone replaced by get_sb (big help for network
filesystems that do not want mount helpers)
•
Filesystem declaration changed and a few flags
•
New inode allocation/destroy routines
•
Seven new filesystem helper routines
