Abstract
Techniques for direct access of a Network File System (NFS) exported share are provided. In one aspect, a request to access a NFS exported share may be received at a NFS client. It may be determined that a NFS server exporting the share is running on the same node that is running the NFS client. The exported share may be directly accessed by the NFS client.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to access a Network File System (NFS) exported share at an NFS client running on a node;
- determining that an NFS server exporting the NFS exported share is running on the node running the NFS client;
- and
- accessing the NFS exported share directly with the NFS client;
- wherein accessing the NFS exported share directly with the NFS client includes bypassing the NFS server and using direct Input/Output (IO) to access a local file system containing the NFS exported share.

A non-transitory processor readable medium containing processor executable instructions thereon, which, when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
- receive a Network File System (NFS) the access request on a node;
- determine if an NFS server exporting a share containing the file is executing on the node or is remote to the node;
- and
- based on a determination that the NFS server exporting the share is executing on the node, access the file directly, wherein accessing the file directly includes bypassing the NFS server and using direct Input/Output (IO) to access a local file system containing the NFS exported share.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a node executing a Network File System (NFS) client, the NFS client to access a share exported by an NFS server;
- and
- a node executing the NFS server, the NFS server exporting the share,
- wherein the NFS client directly accesses a local file system associated with the share when the node executing the NFS client and the node executing the NFS server are a single node;
- wherein directly accessing the local files system associated with the share includes by passing the NFS server and using direct Input/Output (IO) to access a local file system containing the share exported by the NFS server.
