SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
With NFS, FUSE, SMB, SMB2, SMB2.1, SMB3, Cinder, and Swift all accessing one file system, you have the recipe for a nightmare for most companies, or a dream for a community charged up and ready to take the challenge on!
This presentation will cover how the flexible architecture of GlusterFS will be used to solve the problems of cache coherency (oplocks/leases/delegations), locking, ACLs, and share modes. The presentation will also show how similar approaches can be taken in the future to help extend our solutions, and solve future problems.
Learning Objectives
Why multi-protocol access is a big problem
A basic understanding of how GlusterFS is architectured
How we will use the architecture of GlusterFS to solve the multi protocol problems in a novel and efficient manner
