    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow both limited file access and complete file access under a file system restoration operation.
    SOLUTION: File system restoration is made flexible by the use of indicators in individual file restoration statuses through the whole restoration processing. The indicators are useful, for example, in the restoration of such a large-scale file system that the number of files comes to a range of about several hundred-millions, in particular. The present invention provides various degrees of individual file accesses even when the restoration processing in the progress of execution, because the restoration of the large-scale file system requires a relatively long time. The file access is made complete or limited with respect to an attribute of the file during the file system restoration. The invention provides most advantageously the complete access driven dynamically (of on-demand) even when the file system restoration is in the course of operation.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the backup of a large file system.
    SOLUTION: The backup of the file system is executed by generating at first a list of i-nodes including related i-node numbers changed after the last backup operation in order of the i-node numbers. A table having file names and the i-node numbers of all the files included in the file system in the present is also generated therein. The list is sorted by the i-node numbers, the table and the list are merged, and structure is provided thereby to determine that any of the files has to be backed up. This means that the related i-nodes and file names are provided by a single constitutional element. The structure generated based on an merge operation is suitable, in particular, for reading-out by a block unit, and backup operations are thereby executed in parallel.

    Abstract: A computer system having a shared disk file system running on multiple computers each having their own instance of an operating system and being coupled for parallel data sharing access to files residing on network attached shared disks. Methods are provided for use as a parallel file system in a shared disk environment by use of a scalable directory service for the system with a stable cursor, a segmented allocation map. Dynamic prefetch and cached balance pools for multiple accesses improve the system. Extended file attributes are used for implementation of Access Control Lists in a parallel file system.

Methods are provided for use as a parallel file system in a shared disk environment by use of a scalable directory service for the system with a stable cursor, a segmented allocation map. Dynamic prefetch and cached balance pools for multiple accesses improve the system. Extended file attributes and attribute value sharing are used for implementation of access control lists in a parallel file system. A metadata node manages file metadata for parallel read and write actions. For our system, tokens are used for metadata node selection and identification. Enhanced token modes for controlling file size, as well as smart caching of byte range tokens using file access patterns and a byte range lock algorithm using a by te range token interface are provided. Locking techniques reduce the overhead of a token manager whic h is also used in the file system recovery if a computer participating in the management of shared disks becomes unavailable or failed. Synchronous and asynchronous takeover of a metadata node occurs for correction of metadata which was under modification. Locks are not constantl y required to allocate new blocks on behalf of a user. Recoverable local shares for quota managemen t are provided. A quota server and a quota client are provided for each file system, and a quotacheck utility allows parallel environments with minimal interference to other applications which require the use of quotas.
