Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A file system is to be shared by multiple file servers according to respective different file server protocols, and the file system is to implement cross-protocol locking in access of file system objects of the file system. A file system denies access to a particular file system object from a first file server protocol in response to a data structure referred to by an inode indicating that an access from a second different file server protocol of the particular file system object is present.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer system comprising: a machine-readable storage medium to store file system objects; a memory to store an actual inode for a particular one of the file system objects, and a virtual inode for the particular one of the file system objects, where the virtual inode refers to a data structure containing information indicating that an access of the particular file system object has been made from a first file server operating according to a first file…
