    摘要: A technique provides an administrative path for accessing a writeable master storage volume in a mirrored storage environment. Illustratively, a writeable master storage volume stores a master set of data addressable by a corresponding pathname, and zero or more read-only (e.g., load-balancing) mirrored storage volumes are configured to store a mirrored set of the master set of data, the mirrored set also addressable by the corresponding pathname. Clients may read data from either the master storage volume or one of the mirrored storage volumes (e.g., according to a configured access location, such as a local mirrored volume if one exists) by issuing read requests having the corresponding pathnames. Also, each client may specifically access the master set of data from the master storage volume by issuing an access (e.g., read/write) request having a specified master storage volume pathname prefix prepended to the corresponding pathname.

    摘要: A write-once-read-many (WORM) storage system that employs large-capacity and relatively inexpensive disks in connection with a file system on a file server is provided. The file system contains most or all of the required WORM functionality so as to impose a minimal footprint on client applications, client operating systems and open protocols if desired. The system is organized around WORM storage volumes that contain files that, when committed to WORM storage, cannot be deleted or modified. Any file path or directory tree structure used to identify the file within the WORM volume is locked and cannot be deleted. In one embodiment, the administrator creates a WORM volume, capable of storing designated WORM files. The client then creates an appropriate WORM file using the appropriate protocol semantics. The file is written to the volume and committed by transitioning the file attributes from a not-read-only to a read-only state. The file system recognizes the persistently stored WORM attribute of any file in a WORM volume as WORM file. Henceforth, any attempt to modify the file attributes, write to the file, or delete the file, by clients, administrators or other entities is rejected and a request denied message is returned to the attempting party

    摘要: A lightweight coherency control protocol ensures consistency of data containers, such as a file, and associated data buffers stored on one or more volumes served by a plurality of nodes, e.g., storage systems, connected as a cluster. Each data buffer is associated with a current cache sequence number comprising a load generation value and an update count value. The load generation value is incremented every time an inode of a file is loaded into a memory of the storage system. Once the inode is loaded and its load generation value is set, then the appropriate buffer of a buffer tree for the file is loaded into the memory. The update count value is incremented each time the buffer is updated with a write request/operation. Therefore, each buffer loaded into memory is tagged with the load generation value and an update count from the time that buffer is loaded.
