Abstract
File system components of a messaged based file system may perform different functions of the file system and may communicate through a file system-independent message interface to fulfill file I/O naming requests. A file system component may receive a message from another file system component and in response may perform a sub-function of the file system and then may send another message to a file system component to perform another function of the file system. File system components may each operate on separate devices or multiple file system components may execute on a single device. File system components may also communicate using messaging components that in turn may communicate with other messaging components according to the file system-independent message interface. A single messaging component may be configured to communicate with multiple file system components on a single device. Alternatively, each file system component may communicate through a single, paired messaging component.
