With the increased heterogeneity of networked devices integrating into existing distributed file system (DFS) topologies, the ability to balance hardware constraints with user and software requirements is paramount. This is especially true for consistency control in file systems with replication. Exiting DFSs usually implement a single general-purpose consistency approach, focusing on a specific scenario, rather than multitude of possibilities that can arise due to heterogeneity and variability of a mobile computing environments. The developed GLOMAR system cater for the multitude of possibilities by providing the framework to allow numerous consistency control mechanisms specifically built for a scenario to e implemented under the one DFS. This paper discusses the motivation, design, implementation, comparison with similar systems and lessons of GLOMAR. The current implementation of GLOMAR is done in a Microsoft .NET test-bed environment.
