Key Components of a DFS
In a Distributed File System (DFS), replication, scalability, and consistency are key components that ensure the system's reliability, performance, and integrity. Let's delve into how each of these aspects is typically handled:

Purpose
- Replication in DFS is primarily about ensuring data availability and durability. By creating multiple copies of data across different nodes, DFS protects against data loss due to node failures.
Implementation
- Data Blocks: Files are often divided into blocks, and each block is replicated across multiple nodes.
