METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DATA STORAGE

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods for requesting operations at a remote server utilizing a network file system. A client may encapsulate a request for a cache coherency mechanism as an encapsulated message and provide the encapsulated message to a network file system executing on the client. The network file system may be configured to prevent the request for server functionality from being transmitted to the remote server. The client may also cause, via the network file system, the encapsulated message to be transmitted to the remote server.

1. A system for requesting operations at a remote server utilizing a network file system, the system comprising:
at least one processor; and a data store operatively associated with the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to:
encapsulate a request for a cache coherency mechanism as an encapsulated message;provide the encapsulated message to a network file system executing on the at least one processor, wherein the network file system is configured to prevent the request for the cache coherency mechanism from being transmitted to the remote server; andcause, by the network file system, the encapsulated message to be transmitted to the remote server; andreceive, from the remote server, a response from the remote server indicating granting of the requested cache coherency mechanism by the remote server, wherein the granted cache coherency mechanism permits local caching of at least one data block.
