An SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server was designed for delivering and storing user's email across a network. An SMTP server can be distributed as multiple servers for large service, huge users or massive emails. An SMTP server can be constructed by multiple servers with separating file system as email storing space, and each SMTP server can usually share each file system by using the NFS(Network File system). However the NFS is originally designed for sharing each file system across a network, and contains all attributes and features of regular file system. Using this NFS for email storing space of SMTP servers, it makes overhead due to unnecessary work of regular file system. In this paper, we propose a method to do directly operation with socket for reducing work overhead caused by the NFS. For doing directly operation with socket, this paper defines information based storing space structure and a protocol for storing emails. We performed experiments using Mailstone made by Netscape. The experimental results show the performance improvement of the proposed method compared to the existing method.

In the current high network-centralized computing and enterprising environment, it is getting essential to transmit data reliably at very high rates. Until now previous client/server model based NFS(Network File System) or AFS(Andrew's Files System) have met the various demands but from now couldn't satisfy those of the today's scalable high-performance computing environment. Not only performance but data sharing service redundancy have risen as a serious problem. In case of NFS, the locking issue and cache cause file system to reboot and make problem when it is used simply as ip-take over for H/A service. In case of AFS, it provides file sharing redundancy but it is not possible until the storage supporting redundancy and equipments are prepared. Lustre is an open source based cluster file system developed to meet both demands. Lustre consists of three types of subsystems : MDS(Meta-Data Server) which offers the meta-data services, OST(Objec Storage Targets) which provide file I/O, and Lustre Clients which interact with OST and MDS. These subsystems with message exchanging and pursuing scalable high-performance file system service. In this paper, we compare the transmission speed of gigabytes file between Lustre and NFS on the basis of concurrent users and also present the high availability of the file system by removing more than one OST in operation.

As the dependency to network system and demands of efficient storage systems rapidly grows in every networking filed, the current trends initiated by explosive networked data grow due to the wide-spread of internet multimedia data and internet requires a paradigm shift from computing-centric to data-centric in storage systems. Furthermore, the new environment of file systems such as SAN(Storage Area Network) is adopted to the existing storage paradigm for providing high availability and efficient data access. We describe the design issues and system components of $SANique^{TM}$, which is the cluster file system based on SAN environment. We, especially, present the comparative results of performance analysis for the intensive I/O test by using the DBMSs that are operated at the top of cluster file system $SANique^{TM}$, EXT3 and NFS respectively.

요즘 신산업으로 떠오르고 있는 개인 유전체 분석이나 차세대 시퀀싱 기술과 같은 고성능 컴퓨팅 응용들은 data-intensive한 작업들을 요구하며, 이러한 응용을 지원하기 위한 고성능 파일 시스템 기술에 대한 연구들이 다수 진행 중이다. 그러나 그 결과물들은 업체별로 보유한 고유 기술로서, 상호 호환성 등의 문제로 인해 표준화의 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 현재 파일 시스템과 관련하여 거의 모든 IT 업체에서 사용하고 있는 실질적인 표준은 NFS(Network File System)이다. IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force)에서는 이러한 요구사항들을 반영하여 2010년에 NFSv4.1 표준을 공표하였고, 특히 I/O 성능을 향상시키기 위한 pNFS(parallel NFS)는 NFSv4.1의 핵심 기능으로서 다수업체들과 연구기관들에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 고에서는 pNFS 표준화 및 연구개발 동향과 관련된 이슈들에 대해 기술하고자 한다.

In contemporary society, though convenience and efficiency of work using information system is growing high, adverse effect problems of malignant code, system hacking, information leak by insiders due to the development of the network are raising their head daily. Because of this, enormous work forces and expenses for the recovery and management of system is needed. The existing system can be divided into two aspects: security solution which surveils and treats virus and malignant codes, and network management solution which observes the system of computer, and practices maintenance and repair such as management, recovery, backup. This treatise applied Active Write Filter mechanism and the technology based on NFS and complemented the maintenance problems of user data of the existing system and designed the system which enables solving problems of intellectual property right such as information protection and illegal work.

This paper proposes a virtual storage system for smart home/office embedded devices by utilizing AoE and HyperSCSI protocols. It relies on current Ethernet infrastructures and aims to provide a low-cost solution for the storage limitation problem on embedded devices. We choose AoE (ATA over Ethernet) and HyperSCSI in our implementation because they are relatively lightweight compared to other network storage protocols such as NFS(Network File System), CIFS(Common Internet File System) and iSCSI(internet Small Computer System Interface). The design and architecture of our proposed virtual system as well as the prototype demonstration are presented in this paper.

최근 리눅스의 보급이 활발하게 이루어지면서 저비용으로 슈퍼컴퓨터의 성능에 버금가는 클러스터 시스템이 활발히 구현되고 있다. 이에 맞추어 클러스터 전체 노드 디스크의 저장 공간을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 네트워크 파일 시스템이 필요로 하게 되었다. 클러스터 파일 시스템 구축시 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 파일 시스템인 Network File System(NFS)은 보안의 위험성과 데이터 access시 성능이 떨어지는 단점 때문에 NFS을 대체할 수 있는 파일시스템을 필요로 하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스에서 사용하는 Ext3 파일 시스템의 성능을 기준으로 최근 활발한 연구가 진행중인 파일 시스템중 하나인 가상 병렬 파일 시스템과 NFS와의 성능 비교 및 시험을 통하여 최적화된 Cluster 파일 시스템에 대해서 연구하고자 한다.

In this paper, we introduce the client side cache of distributed file system for enhancing read performance by eliminating the network latency and decreasing the back-end storage burden. This performance enhancement can expand the fields of distributed file system to not only cloud storage service but also high performance storage service. This paper shows that the distributed file system with client side SSD cache can satisfy the requirements of VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) storage. The experimental results show that full-clone is more than 2 times faster and boot time is more than 3 times faster than NFS.

SSTF(Samsung Superconducting Test Facility) has been constructed at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology to test the KSTAR(Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) superconducting magnets and conductors. The SSTF DAC(Data Acquisition and Control) system basically consists of VME I/O modules, host PCs, and Ethernet links. VxWorks is used for the real-time OS of the VME IOC(Input/output Controller). EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) provides a software architecture for the communication between IOCs and host PCs. For the efficient management of measured data, the database management programs through NFS(Network File System) have been developed and successfully operated. In this paper, the current status of the SSTF DAC system, DBMS(DataBase Management System), recent test results, and future plans are presented.

In recent, implementation of the embedded system is gradually in the spotlight of world-wide by information technology(IT) engineers. By this time, an implementation of real time system is limited on image acquisition and processing system in practical. In this paper, the USB camera interface system based on the embedded linux OS is implemented using USB 2.0 camera with low cost. This system can obtain image signals into the memory via X-hyper255B processor from USB camera. It is need to initialize USB camera by the Video4Linux for the kernel device driver. From the system image capturing and image processing can be performed. It is confirmed that the image data can be transformed to packet of Network File System(NFS) and connected to the internetwork, then the data can be monitored from the client computer connected to the internetwork.
