Abstract

This talk will examine the details of the design and implementation of a distributed locking mechanism for SMB in OneFS. To implement SMB locking semantics, such as oplocks and byte-range locks, on a clustered file system such as OneFS, we need a distributed locking mechanism to coordinate locks between different nodes in a cluster. This talk will examine the details of such a distributed locking mechanism for SMB lock types on OneFS

Learning Objectives

Fundamentals of distributed locking for a clustered file system
Challenges in implementing the SMB locking semantics on a clustered file system
Details of the design and implementation of the distributed lock manager for SMB in OneFS
