SFS Turbo Basic Concepts

Before you start, understand the following concepts.

File System

A file system provides users with shared file storage through NFS. It is used for accessing network files remotely. After you create a file system on the console, you can mount the file system on multiple servers and access the file system from the servers through the standard POSIX.

POSIX

Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is a set of interrelated standards specified by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to define the application programming interface (API) for software compatible with the UNIX operating system (OS). POSIX is intended to achieve software portability at the source code level so that a program written for a POSIX compatible OS can be compiled and executed on any other POSIX OS.

NFS

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows different computers and OSs to share data over a network.
