Abstract: We present the design and implementation of PLACE, a gray-box library for controlling file layout on top of FFS-like file systems. PLACE exploits its knowledge of FFS layout policies to let users place files and directories into specific and localized portions of disk. Applications can use PLACE to collocate files that exhibit temporal locality of access, thus improving performance. Through a series of microbenchmarks, we analyze the overheads of controlling file layout on top of the file... (Update)
