Abstract
This paper presents a novel distributed file system TLDFS, which consists of two layers. One is the block device layer, which makes the distributed file system manage the consistency of data easily by choosing an appropriate granularity of lock. We implement the distributed interfaces and the new data organization at the block level, which is different from most distributed file systems. The other is the file system layer that consists of three parts: interconnecting module, locking module and distributed file system module. Our prototype system proves the feasibility of the two-layered structure and the experiments show several advantages of TLDFS.
