Abstract: Aspects pertaining to a distributed file system are described. In an example, system call is made by a server computing device on receiving a request for accessing a file, by a client device operating on a first computing architecture. A mount parameter is received in response to the system calls, wherein the mount parameter is to prescribe a computing architecture of a computing device to access the file system. Attribute information pertaining to the file to be accessed may thus be modified on determining the mount parameter to prescribe a first computing architecture for the client device, wherein modified attribute information is of a bit-size conforming to the first computing architecture.
