About this document
File Models in Distributed Systems by Arjuna Krish is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Distributed file systems use different conceptual models to organize files, such as structured versus unstructured, and mutable versus immutable. Structured files organize data into records that can be of variable size. File access models involve transferring files at different levels, such as the whole file, blocks, bytes, or records. File sharing semantics determine when modifications by one user become visible to others, such as with Unix, session, transaction-like, or immutable shared file semantics.
