Talk:Distributed file system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DFS does also mean Dynamic Frequency Selection. I suggest to create a disambiguation page here. Can someone do this for me? I have no Idea how to create something like this...

I think a catalog like Comparison of file systems would be handy.

There is no such thing as DFS

says 68.231.243.104 who has removed all the content 4 or 5 times in the past week.

68.231.243.104, instead of removing the content, why not replace it with something explaining why there is not such thing as a DFS. Or better yet, leave the content alone and discuss it on the talk page. You your creating making a nuisance of yourself by not talking. Tom Brown 22:41, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Distributed, ok, but, that is not distributed

A distributed file system is a network file system that works distributed accross many servers.

That is, you create a share that contains files from more than one server, and usually supporting replication and offline access.

The article is talking about plain network file systems.

Can someone correct that?
