That's different from a remote lock device. There's a couple different choices and they have issues to consider, security issues, stuff encrypted when it moves over the network, for example. And performance issues where the bottle necks. What about locking of files to make sure things stay consistent. And what about scalability? How many of these can you have at a time? So, when we talk about file systems on a network, we have a single server sort of thing and we've got file systems distributed with redundancy across a network and we've got clustering. In this chapter, we're going to talk about really just a couple of choices for file system coming from one server and you just mount that into your tree. Later on we'll talk about distributed and cluster sort of file systems. So, NFS is the unix-y…
