    摘要: A method and apparatus for transparent failover of a filesystem within a computer cluster is provided. For failover protection, a filesystem is physically connected to an active server node and a standby server node. A cluster file system provides distributed access to the filesystem throughout the computer cluster. The cluster file system monitors the progress of each operation performed on the failover protected filesystem. If the active server node should fail during an operation, all processes performing operations on the failover protected filesystem are caused to sleep. The filesystem is then relocated to the standby server node. The cluster file system then awakens each sleeping process and retries each pending operation.

    摘要: A system for protection of filesystem data integrity within a computer cluster is provided. The system uses redundant data caches at client and server nodes within the computer cluster. Caching of filesystem data is controlled so that non-shared files are preferably cached at client nodes. This increases filesystem performance within the computer cluster and ensures that failures may not result in a loss of modified filesystem data without a corresponding loss to the process(es) accessing that data. Shared files are cached at the server node and a backup cache node. This protects modified filesystem data against any single node failure.
