From the Back Cover

This book focuses on two different aspects of filesystems for Linux. First, local filesystems which use journaling are discussed, including SGI's XFS, IBM's JFS, Red Hat's ext3, and the ReiserFS.

Distributed network-oriented filesystems are also discussed and include such systems as:


* NFS, the classic distributed filesystem originally written by Sun Microsystems and since ported to every Unix and Linux platform;
* OpenAFS, a version of IBM/Transarc's networked filesystem that was recently released into the public domain by IBM;
* Netatalk, the package for Linux interoperability with Macintosh filesystems;
* Samba, the package for Linux interoperability with Windows SMB filesystems;
* NCP tools (Novell Core Protocols), the tools supporting Linux interoperability with Novell's NetWare.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book - updated version is needed, May 16, 2003
By A Customer
Great book, but shows it's age - things are changing fast in Linux world (it's based on 2.4.9 kernel and so
most of those filesystems weren't integrated).
Benchmarking info is very interesting but was collected
on very low-end hardware (1-2 Celeron500 with 1 IDE drive).
I wish that updated 2nd edition (2.6 kernel and benchmarks
on modern hardware - like 2CPU and at least 8-10 hd) will be published soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Useful, January 30, 2002
By A Customer
I'd been looking for a book on journaling and networked file systems for Linux for a while, and was happy to find this one. There is one other book on Linux file systems, but this one is the one to get. It discusses the EXT3, JFS, XFS and Reiser journaling file systems, and also the NFS and OpenAFS networked file systems. It provides plenty of background information about basic concepts, but also provides real explanations of how to build kernels that support these file systems and how to configure, administer, and use them. I was really impressed. The book also talks about interoperating with Macintosh, Windows and Novell systems - it was handy to find all of that in one book. It is well written and the author has a sense of humor that I enjoyed. The section on the Distributed Computing Environment's distributed file system was especially funny (and from what I hear, true).
