Abstract
A scalable clustered storage system includes a control node and a plurality of storage nodes. The control node stores object identifiers and location information associated with a plurality of files. The plurality of storage nodes stores the plurality of files. A storage node in the plurality of storage nodes receives a request for a file in a file system from a client. The storage node then communicates with the control node to determine an object identifier and location information associated with the file. The storage node accesses the file in the file system to service the request from the client using the object identifier and location information associated with the file.
