Stable Storage

The storage server shares NFS in sync mode, so all NFS operations by clients are immediately committed to disk without passing through memory. The entire SUT is protected with redundant power supplies, both storage server and clients server.

Other Solution Notes

Use the spectre-meltdown-checker tool to check the storage server, and the results are shown as follows: 1.CVE-2017-5753 aka 'Spectre Variant 1, bounds check bypass'>STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Mitigation: Load fences, __user pointer sanitization) 2.CVE-2017-5715 aka 'Spectre Variant 2, branch target injection'>STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Enhanced IBRS + IBPB are mitigating the vulnerability) 3.CVE-2017-5754 aka 'Variant 3, Meltdown, rogue data cache load'>STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (your CPU vender reported your CPU model as not vulnerable)

Dataflow

All the clients mounted 23 file systems from the storage server.
