This paper overviews the design of SANique$^{TM}$ -a shred file system for Linux cluster based on SAN environment. SANique$^{TM}$ has the capability of transferring user data from network-attached SAN disks to client applcations directly without the control of centralized file server system. The paper also presents the characteristics of each SANique$^{TM}$ subsystem: CFM(Cluster File Manager), CVM(Cluster Volume Manager), CLM(Cluster Lock Manager), CBM(Cluster Buffer Manager) and CRM(Cluster Recovery Manager). Under the SANique$^{TM}$ design layout, then, the syndrome of '||'&'||'quot;split-brain'||'&'||'quot; in shared file system environments is described and defined. The work first generalizes and illustrates possible situations in each of which a shared file system environment may split into two or more pieces of separate brain. Finally, the work describes the SANique$^{TM}$ approach to the given "split-brain"problem using SAN disk named "split-brain" and develops the overall recovery procedure of shared file systems.

This paper overviews the design details of the cluster file system $\textrm{SANique}^{TM}$ on the SAN environment. $\textrm{SANique}^{TM}$ has the capability of transferring user data from shared SAN disk to client application without control of centralized file server. We, especially, focus on the characteristics and functions of recovery manager CRM of $\textrm{SANique}^{TM}$. The process component for failure detection and its overall procedure are described. We define the split-brain problem that cannot be easily detected in cluster file systems and also propose the recovery management method based on SAN disk in order to detect and solve the split-brain situation.

본 논문은 SAN(storage area network)강에 네트워크-부착형 (network-attached) 저장 장치들을 직접 연결하여 화일 서버 없이 직접 데이터 전송이 가능한 SAN 기반의 리눅스 클러스터 공유 화일 시스템인 SANique$^{TM}$의 오류 탐지 기법 및 회복 기법에 대하여 기술한다. 클러스터 내의 노드 오류에 의해 발생하는 "split-brain"오류 상황 및 문제점을 공유 화일 시스템 환경 하에서 성의하고, 이 문제를 해결할 수 있는 오류 탐지기법을 제시한다.
