Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems (Sun) in 1984, [1] allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed. NFS, like many other protocols, builds on the Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC

YANFS (Yet Another NFS), formerly WebNFS, is an extension to the Network File System (NFS) for allowing clients to access a file system over the internet using a simplified, firewall-friendly protocol. WebNFS was developed to give Java applets and other internet enabled applications a way of accessing filesystem services over the internet.
CacheFS is a family of software technologies designed to speed up distributed file system file access for networked computers. [citation needed] They store copies of files on secondary memory, typically a local hard disk, so that if a file is accessed again, it can be fetched locally at much higher speeds than networks typically allow.
Shared-disk file systems (also called shared-storage file systems, SAN file system, Clustered file system or even cluster file systems) are primarily used in a storage area network where all nodes directly access the block storage where the file system is located. This makes it possible for nodes to fail without affecting access to the file ...
For the end user, each FlexGroup Volume is represented by a single, ordinary NAS (SMB or NFS) file-share. [21] The full potential of FlexGroup will be revealed with technologies like pNFS (added in ONTAP 9.7), NFS Multipathing (session trunking, announced in ONTAP 9.12.1) SMB multichannel (added in ONTAP 9.4), SMB Continuous Availability ...
ext4 (fourth extended filesystem) is a journaling file system for Linux, developed as the successor to ext3.. ext4 was initially a series of backward-compatible extensions to ext3, many of them originally developed by Cluster File Systems for the Lustre file system between 2003 and 2006, meant to extend storage limits and add other performance improvements.

One of the first virtual file system mechanisms on Unix-like systems was introduced by Sun Microsystems in SunOS 2.0 in 1985. [2] It allowed Unix system calls to access local UFS file systems and remote NFS file systems transparently. For this reason, Unix vendors who licensed the NFS code from Sun often copied the design of Sun's VFS.
