In most file systems, if a file is deleted, only the metadata of the file is deleted or modified and the file's data is still stored on the physical media. Some users require...
Structural changes, such as file creation and block allocation, have consistently been identified as file system performance problems in many user environments. We compare several...
This paper presents the design and implementation of the MPI-IO interface for the Clusterfile parallel file system. The approach offers the opportunity of achieving a high corelat...
An efficient and distributed scheme for file mapping or file lookup scheme is critical in decentralizing metadata management within a group of metadata servers. This paper present...
We have developed Ceph, a distributed file system that provides excellent performance, reliability, and scalability. Ceph maximizes the separation between data and metadata manage...
