本文介绍了一个针对5000多个个人计算机工作站网络的分布式文件系统的设计和理由。尽管规模一直是主要的设计影响力，但还谨慎地关注了位置透明度，用户移动性和与现有操作系统界面的兼容性的目标。安全是一个重要的设计考虑，其机制并不认为工作站或网络是安全的。工作站的整个文件的缓存是此设计的关键要素。该系统的原型已建立，并由约400个人的用户社区使用。精致的实现将更优雅地扩展并提供更好的性能即可完成。
This paper presents the design and rationale of a distributed file system for a network of more than 5000 personal computer workstations. While scale has been the dominant design influence, careful attention has also been paid to the goals of location transparency, user mobility and compatibility with existing operating system interfaces. Security is an important design consideration, and the mechanisms for it do not assume that the workstations or the network are secure. Caching of entire files at workstations is a key element in this design. A prototype of this system has been built and is in use by a user community of about 400 individuals. A refined implementation that will scale more gracefully and provide better performance is close to completion.
