Abstract
When an access request is generated from a client in a network file server comprising a computer including a communication controller connected to at least one client through a network and transferring information on a plurality of addresses inside a main storage device as one packet to at least one client, the main storage device having a buffer, a central processing unit and an input/output bus for mutually connecting the communication controller, the central processing unit and the main storage device, and a secondary storage device connected to the computer, an area for storing the data corresponding to this access request is allocated into the buffer of the main storage device. The data corresponding to the access request is read out from the secondary storage device, is transferred to the buffer and is stored in the allocated area. A header for the data in the allocated area in the buffer, the address and size of the header and the address and size of the data are generated in the main storage device on the basis of the access request. As the address and size of the header and the address and size of the data are reported to the communication controller, the data inside the a…
