Cluster file system is a key component of system software of clusters. It attracts more and more attention in recent years. In this paper, we introduce the design and implementation of DCFS 1 (the Dawning Cluster File System) — a cluster file system developed for Dawning4000-L. DCFS is a global file system sharing among all cluster nodes. Applications see a single uniform name space, and can use system calls to access DCFS files. The features of DCFS include its scalable architecture, metadata policy, server-side optimization, flexible communication mechanism and easy management. Performance tests of DCFS on Dawning4000-L show that DCFS can provide high aggregate bandwidth and throughput.
