- DFS: A FileSystem for Virtualized Storage (Princeton/Fusion-io)
Discussion of filesystem design using commercial flash drives (PCI-EX based). Design is an actual minimal filesystem, managed by the kernel. Loadable kernel module required – thus, superuser privs and kernel access needed. These filesystems might possibly be able to be exported via NFS.
Benchmarks discussed include:- Micro benchmarks (write/read rate using Iozone (q.v.))
Problems with their method: only two threads pounding on it. - Application benchmarks: Most not useful for us. 3/5 are either mem-mapped IO or database like.
