METHOD OF DATA RE-REPLICATION IN ASYMMETRIC FILE SYSTEM

摘要

A method for efficiently replicating data stored in data servers in an asymmetric file system is provided. A replication processing apparatus of a network transmits a replication request only to a data server that does not replicate data, thereby reducing replication time of a data block and extending timeout with reference to a response message transmitted from the data server. In addition, each of the data servers may efficiently transmit copy data to another data server by a pipeline data transmission method.
