Interfaces of SAN and NAS, prevents data miss even when a trouble occurs
and makes it possible that an arbitrary number of NAS interfaces access
the same file system with high performance. A storage system includes
multiple interfaces for external connection, multiple disks accessed from
multiple interfaces, and a shared memory accessed from multiple
interfaces. The multiple interfaces are block interfaces executing disk
block I/O request, and file interfaces of file servers executing file I/O
request. A file system in the file servers is constructed in a part of
the disks, and a log storage area holding change log of the file system,
and a management file server information storage area holding information
of managing file server performing exclusive access control of file
system and management of log storage area are formed in the shared
memory.
