Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for distributed file systems (DFS) are provided herein. In one example, the DFS is operable to respond to a write operation for the DFS by transferring a write command to a selected storage system for broadcast of the write command to a plurality of storage devices associated with a network switch fabric of the selected storage system. Further operations of the DFS can include, responsive to a read operation for the DFS, transferring a read command to a selected storage system for broadcast of the read command to a plurality of storage devices associated with a network switch fabric of the selected storage system.
