The Livermore distributed storage system: Implementation and experiences
The LINCS Storage System (LSS) has been in production at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory since January, 1988. In the development of the LSS, the designers made key architectural decisions which included the separation of data and control messages, a network-wide locking mechanism, and the separation of the naming mechanism from other object managers. Other important issues of the system deal with space management, descriptor management, and system administration. This paper outlines the LSS software system and then focuses on these key design decisions and issues with the intent of providing some insight into the types of difficulties designers face in developing a distributed storage system. 11 refs., 3 figs.
