Abstract
Cluster file systems are provided having a FUSE interface. A cluster file system comprises a FUSE object storage device that communicates with at least one object storage server of the cluster file system; and provides an interface between the cluster file system and at least one additional file system having a FUSE implementation. The additional file system optionally includes a burst buffer appliance. The burst buffer appliance can be configured, for example, to control the movement of data between first and second storage tiers. The burst buffer appliance can optionally communicate with a plurality of clients over the network and process requests from the clients. The FUSE object storage device provides an interface to, for example, a parallel log-structured file system and/or a Lustre clustered file system.
