  CRITERIA<\/th>\n	NFS<\/th>\n	HDFS<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
  Data Size Support<\/td>\n	NFS<\/a>\u00a0can store and process small \namount of data.<\/td>\n	HDFS\u00a0is mainly use to store and process big data.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Data Storage<\/td>\n	Data is stored on a single dedicated \nhardware.<\/td>\n	The data blocks are distributed on the local drives of hardware.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Reliability<\/td>\n	No reliability, data is not available \nin the case of machine failure.<\/td>\n	Data is stored reliably, data is available even after machine failure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Data Redundancy<\/td>\n	NFS runs on single machine, \nno chances of data redundancy.<\/td>\n	HDFS runs on a cluster of different machines, data redundancy may occur due to replication protocol.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Target Users<\/td>\n	Workgroup.<\/td>\n	Larger than AFS.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Domain<\/td>\n	Single Domain.<\/td>\n	Multi Domain.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Client Server Trust<\/td>\n	Client identity is trusted by default.<\/td>\n	Client identity is what os tells. No Kerberos Auth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
  Compatability with O\/S<\/td>\n	Same System calls as of O\/S.<\/td>\n	Different Calls.Mainly used for non interactive programs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Answer : NFS (Network File System) is one of the oldest and popular…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"passster_activate_protection":false,"passster_protect_child_pages":"","passster_protection_type":"password","passster_password":"","passster_activate_overwrite_defaults":"","passster_headline":"","passster_instruction":"","passster_placeholder":"","passster_button":"","passster_id":"","passster_activate_misc_settings":"","passster_redirect_url":"","passster_hide":"no","passster_area_shortcode":"","gtb_hide_title":false,"gtb_wrap_title":false,"gtb_class_title":"","gtb_remove_headerfooter":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1065],"tags":[195,1497,1498,1488,1504,1119,360,203,199,214,1120,1492,205,1499,1484,1486,963,1507,1509,1496,1502,1500,1487,485,1495,222,484,1375,1506,1490,1165,1505,1485,1511,1489,196,212,286,970,366,1493,1491,1515,1494,1513,1501,288,367,206,975,200,1510,974,1503,197,280,364,1508,1514,1512,968,216,285,1121],"class_list":["post-289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-data","tag-accenture-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-advantages-of-nfs-and-afs","tag-afs-vs-nfs-in-distributed-system","tag-apache-hdfs","tag-apache-hdfs-nfs","tag-att-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-atos-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-capgemini-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-casting-networks-india-pvt-limited-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-cgi-group-inc-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-collabera-technologiesinterview-questions-and-answers","tag-compare-between-nfs-and-afs","tag-dell-international-services-india-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-dfs-vs-nfs","tag-difference-between-dfs-and-hdfs","tag-difference-between-distributed-file-system-and-hadoop-distributed-file-system","tag-difference-between-hadoop-and-hdfs","tag-difference-between-hdfs-dfs-ls-and-hdfs-dfs-ls","tag-difference-between-nas-and-hdfs","tag-difference-between-nfs-and-coda-file-system","tag-difference-between-nfs-and-dfs","tag-difference-between-nfs-and-hdfs","tag-difference-between-normal-file-system-and-hdfs","tag-ernst-young-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-ewhat-is-nfs","tag-flipkart-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-genpact-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-hadoop-framework","tag-hadoop-fs-example","tag-hadoop-nfs-performance","tag-hdfs-architecture","tag-hdfs-nfs-example","tag-hdfs-vs-nfs-performance","tag-hdfs-vs-ntfs","tag-how-does-hdfs-work","tag-ibm-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-indecomm-global-services-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-lt-infotech-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-mindtree-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-netapp-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-nfs-and-afs-difference","tag-nfs-export-point","tag-nfs-file-system","tag-nfs-vs-afs-differenc","tag-nfs-vs-afs-difference","tag-nfs-vs-hdfs","tag-r-systems-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-rbs-india-development-centre-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-sap-labs-india-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-tata-consultancy-service-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-tech-mahindra-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-the-hadoop-distributed-file-system","tag-trigent-software-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-understanding-hdfs-nfs","tag-unitedhealth-group-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-virtusa-consulting-services-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-wells-fargo-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-what-is-hdfs-replication-factor","tag-what-is-nfs","tag-where-is-hdfs-used","tag-wipro-infotech-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-wipro-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-xoriant-solutions-pvt-ltd-interview-questions-and-answers","tag-zs-associates-interview-questions-and-answers"],"yoast_head":"\n
