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.
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 ...
LizardFS is an open source distributed file system that is POSIX-compliant and licensed under GPLv3. [3] [4] It was released in 2013 as fork of MooseFS. [5]LizardFS is also offering a paid technical support (Standard, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus) with possibility of configurating and setting up the cluster and active cluster monitoring.

This makes it possible for multiple users on multiple machines to share files and storage resources. Distributed file systems differ in their performance, mutability of content, handling of concurrent writes, handling of permanent or temporary loss of nodes or storage, and their policy of storing content.
Nemo version 1.0.0 was released in July 2012 along with version 1.6 of Cinnamon, [3] [better source needed] reaching version 1.1.2 in November 2012. [4] It started as a fork of the GNOME file manager Nautilus v3.4 [5] [6] [7] [better source needed] after the developers of the operating system Linux Mint considered that "Nautilus 3.6 is a catastrophe".
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.
