That implies usage of a global network prohibition of host dependent mountpoints Such file systems are few and not widely known but they exist. One and in practice the only true example is Coda file system Coda . A very close to global file system is Distributed file system Dfs . Its namespace contains both a global part and host dependent shortcuts. Another similar file system is Andrew File System AFS . Despite the similarity it does not qualify as a global one because the names under afs are indirectly defined by the local host administrator. Of course, it is still possible to use a global file system in a non global fashion on a certain host or hosts, say by making a non standard mount or setting up a specially crafted firewall. It makes the globality unavailable for the isolated hosts, but only for them. In contrast, a file system which explicitly depends on each host administrator s decisions mounts can never be used without strict steering, which is impossible across administrative borders. With other words, it precludes any globality. DEFAULTSORT Global Filesystem Category Computer file systems ... more details
