Discussion Questions

Discussion questions for 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)?
  • Could files be bigger than one computer could handle?
