Abstract: CPU speeds are improving at a dramatic rate, while disk speeds are not. This technology shift suggests that many engineering and office applications may become so I/O-limited that they cannot benefit from further CPU improvements. This paper discusses several techniques for improving I/O performance, including caches, battery-backed-up caches, and cache logging. We then examine in particular detail an approach called log-structured file systems, where the file system's only representation on... (Update)

...value. One problem that has plagued development of this project from the start is the unreliability of the Sprite log file system (LFS) [38]. When we started our final series of tests, we began to experience failures in the file system. The source code for the kernel was not...
...system performance. Many techniques have been proposed to speed up synchronous writes. Among them the Log structured File System (LFS) [5, 4, 6] and metadata logging [7] are two well known examples. In LFS, the only data structure on the disk is a log. All writes are first...
