Traditional distributed file systems do not provide clusters with strict single-system image, and cannot fully meet the cluster applications requirements, such as I/O performance,...
The recent improvements in workstation and interconnection network performance have popularized the clusters of off-the-shelf workstations. However, the usefulness of these cluste...
We defeat two proposed Unix file-system race condition defense mechanisms. First, we attack the probabilistic defense mechanism of Tsafrir, et al., published at USENIX FAST 2008[...
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of BORG, a self-optimizing storage system that performs automatic block reorganization based on the observed I/O wor...

We describe how to manage distributed file system caches based upon groups of files that are accessed together. We use file access patterns to automatically construct dynamic g...
