==Readings==

LOCUS & NFS
* [http://homeostasis.scs.carleton.ca/~soma/distos/2008-01-21/walker-locus.pdf Bruce Walker et al., "The LOCUS Distributed Operating System." (1983)]
* [http://homeostasis.scs.carleton.ca/~soma/distos/2008-02-11/sandberg-nfs.pdf Russel Sandberg et al., "Design and Implementation of the Sun Network Filesystem" (1985)]

==Discussion Questions==

Consider the following for both LOCUS & NFS

* What type of workloads was it designed for? How would the system appear to regular users?
* To what extent did it scale?
* What was their distribution strategy?
* Did any of their design choices clearly limit their scalability?
* How did their design choices affect semantics versus a single system (e.g., standard UNIX semantics)?
