A reimplementation of the UNIX file system is described.
|
|
The reimplementation provides substantially higher throughput
|
|
rates by using more flexible allocation policies
|
|
that allow better locality of reference and can
|
|
be adapted to a wide range of peripheral and processor characteristics.
|
|
The new file system clusters data that is sequentially accessed
|
|
and provides two block sizes to allow fast access to large files
|
|
while not wasting large amounts of space for small files.
|
|
File access rates of up to ten times faster than the traditional
|
|
UNIX file system are experienced.
|
|
Long needed enhancements to the programmers'
|
|
interface are discussed.
|
|
These include a mechanism to place advisory locks on files,
|
|
extensions of the name space across file systems,
|
|
the ability to use long file names,
|
|
and provisions for administrative control of resource usage.
