what is differences between mvfs and ccfs in clearcase...

Answer / rachna garg

The MultiVersion File System (MVFS) creates a virtual file
system specifically designed for accessing data within a
Rational ClearCase VOB.

The MVFS works similarly to UNIX® Network File System
(NFS), in that it loads a kernel driver that presents a file
system to the user through a standard interface within the
Windows, UNIX or Linux kernel.

ClearCase File Server (CCFS) is a proprietary file server
from IBM Rational Software.

The ClearCase File Server is a TCP/IP-based mechanism for
file transfers between UNIX® and Linux® VOB servers and
clients running UNIX, Linux and or Microsoft Windows.

CCFS works with snapshot views only.
