Abstract

KINDFS is a distributed file system designed to provide cost-effective storage service utilizing idle disk space on workstation clusters. The system responsibilities are evenly distributed across a group of collaborating workstations; the proposed architecture provides improved performance, reliability, and scalability. Workstation uptime data varies from system to system. The feasibility of deploying KINDFS on an existing desktop computing infrastructure is discussed. KINDFS prototype implementation and measurement of its performance is suggested. Preliminary results indicate that KINDFS performance is comparable to that of commonly used distributed file systems, such as NFS, Samba, and Windows 2000 Server.
