Abstract:

The Large class of modern distributed file systems treats metadata services as an independent system component, separately from data servers. The availability of the metadata service is key to the availability of the overall system. Given the high rates of failures observed in large-scale data centres, distributed file systems usually incorporate high- availability features. A typical approach in the development of distributed file systems is to design and develop metadata services from the ground up, at significant cost in terms of complexity and time, often leading to functional shortcomings. Our motivation in this paper was to improve on this state of things by defining a general-purpose architecture for HA metadata services that can be easily incorporated and reused in new or existing file systems, reducing development time. This project is developed using data replication with Meta server, it acquires more memory and therefore the data’s won’t be interact during a secure approach & not in ordered order .To overcome these drawback we elect the formula of Fragment and Snuffle algorithm. To overcome this problem we choose the Algorithm of FS The scope of this project is the Detach & reproduces methodology; we divide a file into fragments, and replicate the fragmented data over the cloud nodes. Each of the nodes stores only a single fragment of a particular data file that ensures that even in case of a successful attack, no meaningful information is revealed to the attacker.
