This paper presents MojaveFS, a distributed file system
with support for sequential consistency. It provides location
transparency and makes use of replication for reliability
and fault tolerance. We employ a hybrid hash-based and
tree-based lookup mechanism for files that, combined with
an efficient caching scheme, provides fast access to files in
the system. MojaveFS uses a novel data storage strategy
where files are split into smaller objects to increase data
availability. It also uses a group communication protocol
with guarantees for a total order on messages sent within
the system, enabling MojaveFS to support the traditional
sequential consistency model for concurrent access.
