How are vdfs and fsfs filesystems the same?


Asked by Lilianna Ford on Dec 03, 2021 FAQ



VDFS filesystem type encapsulates FSFS repository filesystem and implements transparent data replication across different servers. Distributed VDFS repositories are functionally equivalent to regular Subversion FSFS repositories and enable data replication across geographically distributed sites.
Subsequently,
VDFS-backed repositories encapsulate FSFS repositories and therefore share the same filesystem formats. VDFS repository format is represented as the 3-digit value. For example, VDFS filesystem format 107 means that the repository is using VDFS filesystem type 1 and encapsulates FSFS filesystem format 7.
Moreover, The filesystem formats available in VDFS repositories are specified in the table below. Format 1 is the first VDFS filesystem format version. It is currently the only VDFS filesystem format. VDFS format version is represented as 3-digit value where the first digit specifies the version of VDFS format.
Also,
A Distributed File System (DFS) as the name suggests, is a file system that is distributed on multiple file servers or multiple locations. It allows programs to access or store isolated files as they do with the local ones, allowing programmers to access files from any network or computer.
Likewise,
VDFS format version is represented as 3-digit value where the first digit specifies the version of VDFS format. Other digits specify the format of FSFS filesystem encapsulated in VDFS. Historically, Subversion repositories supported only zlib compression.
