A Basic Distributed File System
Explore the structure of a basic distributed file system, focusing on how client-side file systems and file servers interact to provide transparent access to remote files. Understand client applications, system calls, caching, and how NFS facilitates communication between client and server for efficient file operations.

We now will study the architecture of a simplified distributed file system. A simple client/server distributed file system has more components than the file systems we have studied so far. On the client side, there are client applications that access files and directories through the client-side file system. A client application issues system calls to the client-side file system ...
