  abstract = {The {H{\sc urricane}} File System (HFS) is a new file system
  being developed for large-scale shared memory multiprocessors with
  distributed disks. The main goal of this file system is scalability; that is,
  the file system is designed to handle demands that are expected to grow
  linearly with the number of processors in the system. To achieve this goal,
  HFS is designed using a new structuring technique called Hierarchical
  Clustering. HFS is also designed to be flexible in supporting a variety of
  policies for managing file data and for managing file system state. This
  flexibility is necessary to support in a scalable fashion the diverse
  workloads we expect for a multiprocessor file system.},
  comment = {This paper is now out of date; see krieger:thesis. Designed for
  scalability on the hierarchical clustering model (see unrau:cluster), the
  Hurricane File System for NUMA shared-memory MIMD machines. Each cluster has
  its own full file system, which communicates with those in other clusters.
  Pieces are name server, open-file server, and block-file server. On first
  access, the file is mapped into the application space. VM system calls BFS to
  arrange transfers. Open questions: policies for file state management, block
  distribution, caching, and prefetching. Object-oriented approach used to
  allow for flexibility and extendability. Local disk file systems are
  log-structured.}
