STNFS short-term network file systems

An Short Term Network File Systems (STNFS) file system is a file system backed up by a Network File System (NFS), and the STNFS file system allows local modification to files. The modifications are not saved on the server.

Notes:

1

Many STNFS clients can share the same file system image from a server, but any modifications are seen only by the client making the modification.

2

Any modifications made by a client are lost when the file system is unmounted or when the client reboots.

3

Write operations from STNFS fail when the system memory falls below the predetermined threshold. This threshold is internal to STNFS and cannot be configured externally.
