第 5 章 文件系统
支持 Btrfs 文件系统
在 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 中将
Btrfs(B-Tree)文件系统作为技术预览支持。这个文件系统提供高级管理、可靠性及可伸缩功能。它可让用户生成快照,启用压缩和集成的设备管理。
OverlayFS
The
OverlayFS file system service allows the user to "overlay" one file system on top of another. Changes are recorded in the upper file system, while the lower file system remains unmodified. This can be useful because it allows multiple users to share a file-system image, for example containers, or when the base image is on read-only media, for example a DVD-ROM.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1, OverlayFS is supported as a Technology Preview. There are currently two restrictions:
- It is recommended to use
ext4as the lower file system; the use ofxfsandgfs2file systems is not supported. - SELinux is not supported, and to use OverlayFS, it is required to disable enforcing mode.
支持平行 NFS
平行 NFS(pNFS)是 NFS v4.1 标准的一部分,可让客户端直接且平行访问存储设备。pNFS 架构可提高 NFS 服务器一些常规负载的可延伸性和性能。
pNFS defines three different storage protocols or layouts: files, objects, and blocks. The client supports the files layout, and since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1, the blocks and object layouts are fully supported.
Red Hat 继续致力于与合作伙伴及开源项目合作,对新的 pNFS 布局类型进行认证,并在将来提供更多布局类型的全面支持。
