Abstract
Disk Farm allows using disk space distributed among nodes of a big
computing farm by organizing physical disk partitions into a single
name space structure similar to UNIX file system. Disk Farm users
access data stored in Disk Farm through a subset of UNIX file system
primitive operations such as "create directory", "list files",
"get file", "put file", etc.
Disk Farm helps control negative effects of individual node unreliability
by allowing the user to create replicas of data files on multiple
farm nodes.
