Disclosed herein are a method and system for supporting user-level DMA I/O in a distributed file system environment. The system includes a DMA I/O library located in a user space and configured to process data-processing requests of an application using a control channel or a data channel, a distributed file system client process located in the user space and configured to process data while communicating with a remote distributed storage cluster, a VFS located in a kernel space, and a FUSE kernel module located in the kernel space, wherein the control channel is a path along which the DMA I/O library and the distributed file system client process are connected to each other through the VFS and the FUSE kernel module, and wherein the data channel is a path along which the DMA I/O library and the distributed file system client process are directly connected to each other.

Disclosed herein are a storage server and an adaptive prefetching method performed by the storage server in a distributed file system. An adaptive prefetching method includes receiving, by a management request processing unit of a storage server, a stream generation request from a client, sending, by the management request processing unit, a stream identifier and information about an I/O worker, which correspond to the stream generation request, to the client, receiving, by the management request processing unit, a read request from the client, inserting, by the management request processing unit, the read request into a queue of the I/O worker corresponding to the read request, performing, by the I/O worker, adaptive prefetching for the read request using an identifier of a file object of stream information corresponding to the read request, and transmitting, by the I/O worker, data that is read by performing adaptive prefetching to the client.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for controlling synchronization of metadata, which includes a transaction creation unit for creating a transaction corresponding to a request for an operation for metadata, the request being received from a client; a journal management unit for storing the transaction in a journal; a journal synchronization unit for comparing the journal with an external journal in a node connected with the apparatus and transmitting and receiving only inconsistencies therebetween, thereby synchronizing the journal; and an operation-processing unit for processing the request for the operation or the transaction for the metadata.

Disclosed herein are a method for automatically allocating IP addresses for a distributed storage system in a large-scale torus network and an apparatus for the method. The method for automatically allocating IP addresses includes acquiring neighboring-node information from multiple storage nodes that constitute the system; generating torus network topology for the multiple storage nodes by combining the neighboring-node information; generating IP address information through which a position of each of the multiple storage nodes in a structure corresponding to the torus network topology can be identified; and allocating IP addresses to the multiple storage nodes by delivering the IP address information to the multiple storage nodes.

Disclosed herein are a method for extending and shrinking a volume of a distributed file system based on a torus network and an apparatus for the same. The method for extending a volume includes searching for a volume neighboring a target volume, the extension of which is requested; determining a direction in which a data server is to be added in consideration of whether the neighboring volume is to be extended; searching for multiple candidate data servers in the direction in which a data server is to be added based on the target volume; and adding any one of the multiple candidate data servers to the target volume in consideration of at least one of a server state and a network communication cost.

Disclosed herein is a distributed file system using a torus network. The distributed file system includes multiple servers. The location of a master server may be determined to shorten the latency of data input/output. The location of the master server may be determined such that the distance between the master server and a node farthest away from the master server, among nodes, is minimized. When the location of the master server is determined, the characteristics of the torus network and the features of a propagation transmission scheme may be taken into consideration.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for reading data in a distributed file system in which a client and a server are separated. In the method and apparatus, a prefetching operation is performed to provide a continuous read function with high performance even in the distributed file system so that an optimum continuous read function of a local file system within the client may be effectively supported when an application program of the client requests continuous reading on a file (or chunk).

There are provided a system and method for providing a virtual desktop service using a cache server. A system for providing a virtual desktop service according to the invention includes a host server configured to provide a virtual desktop service to a client terminal using a virtual machine, a distributed file system configured to store data for the virtual machine, and a cache server that is provided for each host server group having at least one host server, and performs a read process or a write process of data using physically separate caches when the read process or write process of the data is requested from the virtual machine in the host server.

Disclosed herein are a server for a torus network-based distributed file system and a method using the server. A management server includes a system information storage unit for storing system information of a torus network-based distributed file system, a system management unit for managing one or more metadata servers that store metadata of files and multiple data servers that are included in the torus network to distribute and store data, and a communication unit for communicating with a switch connected from a first plane in the torus network or from outside the torus network to a client, and communicating with the metadata servers and the data servers.

Disclosed herein are a metadata server and a method for distributing metadata in units of directories using the metadata server. The method includes receiving a request for at least one of creation, deletion and retrieval from a user file system; acquiring an inode corresponding to an identifier of a parent inode, which is included in the request; searching the parent inode for a dentry corresponding to the request when the request is a request to create a directory; selecting a secondary metadata server in which a new directory is to be created in order to distribute metadata in units of directories; requesting the selected secondary metadata server to create an inode; receiving an identifier of the created inode from the secondary metadata server; and adding a new dentry to the parent inode using the identifier of the inode.
