ABSTRACT
The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivate changes in the areas of cache validation, server process structure, name translation, and low-level storage representation, and quantitatively demonstrate Andrews ability to scale gracefully. We establish the importance of whole-file transfer and caching in Andrew by comparing its performance with that of Sun Microsystems NFS tile system. We also show how the aggregation of files into volumes improves the operability of the system.

REVIEW
"Charles William Bash : Reviewer"
The Andrew file system described in this paper is a location-transparent
distributed file system that is planned to span more than 5,000 workstations.
Such a scale affects performance and complicates system operation. The
authors discuss several
