Federated File System (FFS)

• Objects that execute on hosts in the CWVC are presented with a single unified file system abstraction - FFS.

• The FFS interacts with local file systems, i.e. NFS mount structures, etc., so files visible on one host may not be available on another.

• The FFS allows objects to view a single, unified file name space, and thus execute in a location independent manner.

• Interfaces is similar to the Unix standard library file system - little change to existing code necessary.
