چکیده

In this study, we consider the relationship of client IO requests submitted to a file server and the server's disk subsystem IO traffic. We collected traces of client-server IOs and, during each trace period, we also traced server storage subsystem workloads. We analyze and compare trace pairs collected in each trace period. We evaluate file server performance and investigate the relationship between client file requests and server disk workloads.

The Effect of Client Caching on File Server Workloads

A distributed file systetn provides file service from one or rnore &red file servers to a community of clierit workstations o’ver Q network. Wlaile the clientserver paradigm has many advantages, it also presents new challenges to system designers concerning perforrnance and reliability. As both client workstations and file servers become increasingly well-resourced, a nu~nber of system design d...

Circus: Opportunistic Block Reordering for Scalable Content Servers

Whole-file transfer is a basic primitive for Internet content dissemination. Content servers are increasingly limited by disk arm movement given the rapid growth in disk density, disk transfer rates, server network bandwidth, and content size. Individual file transfers are sequential, but the block access sequence on a content server is effectively random when many slow clients access large fil...

Analysis Of Disk Workloads In Network File Server Environments

Workloads of network file server disk IO subsystems have very different characteristics than observed in time sharing or local IO systems described in the literature. In this study we provide a detailed analysis of disk workload traces collected from network file servers. Our results characterize file server disk traffic and give insights into file server disk access patterns. Measurements and ...

Track-aligned Extents: Matching Access Patterns to Disk Drive Characteristics (CMU-CS-01-119)

Track-aligned extents (traxtents) utilize disk-specific knowledge to match access patterns to the strengths of modern disks. By allocating and accessing related data on disk track boundaries, a system can avoid most rotational latency and track crossing overheads. Avoiding these overheads can increase disk access efficiency by up to 50% for mid-sized requests (100–500 KB). This paper describes ...
