Federated File System (FFS)
|
| 2 |
Objects that execute on hosts in the CWVC are presented with a single unified file system abstraction - FFS.
|
| 3 |
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.
|
| 4 |
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.
