• Title: Design and Implementation Considerations for a Virtual File System Using an Inode Data Structure
• Authors: Qin Sun, Grace McKenzie, Guanqun Song, Ting Zhu,
• Abstract summary: We discuss the design of Unix-based file systems and how this type of file system layout can be implemented as a single-file virtual file system in Linux. We explore the ways that virtual file systems are vulnerable to security attacks and introduce straightforward solutions that can be implemented to help prevent or mitigate the consequences of such attacks.

• Abstract: Virtual file systems are a tool to centralize and mobilize a file system that could otherwise be complex and consist of multiple hierarchies, hard disks, and more. In this paper, we discuss the design of Unix-based file systems and how this type of file system layout using inode data structures and a disk emulator can be implemented as a single-file virtual file system in Linux. We explore the ways that virtual file systems are vulnerable to security attacks and introduce straightforward solutions that can be implemented to help prevent or mitigate the consequences of such attacks.

  Distributed File Systems (DFS) are essential for managing vast datasets across multiple servers, offering benefits in scalability, fault tolerance, and data accessibility. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of three prominent DFSs - Google File System (GFS), Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), and MinIO. Through detailed analysis, how these systems handle data redundancy, server failures, and client access protocols, ensuring reliability in dynamic, large-scale environments is assessed.

  We propose an LLM-based semantic file system ( LSFS) for prompt-driven file management. Unlike conventional approaches, LSFS incorporates LLMs to enable users or agents to interact with files through natural language prompts. Our experiments show that LSFS offers significant improvements over traditional file systems in terms of user convenience, the diversity of supported functions, and the accuracy and efficiency of file operations.
