# modprobe fuseĬreate a new volume with it default setting: # mkfs.xtreemfs localhost/Volume Load the Fuse kernel module if not loaded. Start the OSD: # /etc/init.d/xtreemfs-osd start Start Metadata server: # /etc/init.d/xtreemfs-mrc start To mounting XtreemFS fist start the directory service typing below command: # /etc/init.d/xtreemfs-dir start

OSD – Object Storage Device : It is not a special device it is regular server, these servers store the file content and implement the replication.įUSE – File-system in Userspace : It is a kernel module that simplifies the development of new file systems. MRC – Metadata and Repica Catalog : It stores the volumes with their directory tree and all metadata for files in the volumes. XtreemFS is based on three services and kernel module called fuse:ĭir – Directory Service : It is used by the MRC, OSD and client to find other servers, resolve UUID mapping and volume names. Now install the client or server packages: # yum install xtreemfs-client Now install the client or server packages: # apt-get install xtreemfs-clientįor CentOS/RHEL/Fedora system you have to download the XtreemsFS repository into /etc// location on the system.įor example add the XtreemFS repository On CentOS 6 as follows: # cd /ect// Now add the package signing key of your repository to your system. In my example the packet source is used for the “Ubuntu 16.04”. Replace URL of the repository for your distribution. To add XtreemFS repository edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on Debian or Ubuntu system like below: # deb. XtreemFS Installation On Ubunt/Debian System You can start with a single server, growing to a cluster and across datacenters. Scalability :- XtreemFS is scalable you can scales it according to your needs within a minutes, simply by adding new standard hardware. Fault-tolerant replication keeps your data safe and gives you peace of mind.ģ. Reliability :- XtreemFS is the only fault-tolerant file system that automatically handles all failure modes, including network splits. It is an open-source technology that do not require any special hardware or kernel modules and it can be mounted on Linux, Windows and OS X machine.Ģ. Versatility :- XtreemFS is a general purpose storage system and covers most storage needs in a single deployment. It is an open-source file-system that is distributed with support for client and servers from any location and connected together using the internet.

XtreemFS is a fault-tolerant distributed file system.
