摘要：The intelligent distributed file system enables the storing of file data among aplurality of smart storage units which are accessed as a single file system. The intelligent

distributed file system utilizes a metadata data structure to track and manage detailedinformation about each file, including, for example, the device and block locations of thefile's data blocks, to permit different levels of replication and/or redundancy within asingle file system, to facilitate the change of redundancy parameters, to provide high-level protection for metadata, to replicate and move data in real-time, and to permit thecreation of virtual hot spares among the smart storage units without the need to idle anysingle smart storage unit in the intelligent distributed file system.
