ONCplus B.11.31.05 Release Notes

ONC consists of the following components:
• Network File System
The Network File System (NFS) is a distributed filesystem that provides transparent access
to files and directories that are shared on remote systems.
• AutoFS
AutoFS is a client-side service that enables automatic mounting and unmounting of
filesystems.
• CacheFS
The Cache Filesystem (CacheFS) is a general purpose filesystem caching mechanism that
improves the performance of client side applications when working with NFS servers.
CacheFS client performance is improved by caching data to a fast local file system instead
of going over the wire. Caching data results in reduced server and network load because
the clients have already cached a copy of the data and send fewer requests to the server.
• Network Information Service
Network Information Service (NIS), previously called “Yellow Pages,” is a distributed
database system that enables the maintenance of commonly used configuration information
on a master server and propagates the information to all the hosts in the network.
