Novel Address Mappings for Shingled Write Disks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shingled Write Disks (SWDs) increase the storage density by writing data in overlapping tracks. Consequently, data cannot be updated freely in place without overwriting the valid data in subsequent tracks if any. A write operation therefore may incur several extra read and write operations, which creates a write amplification problem. In this paper, we propose several novel static Logical Block Address (LBA) to Physical Block Address (PBA) mapping schemes for in-place update SWDs which significantly reduce the write amplification. The experiments with four traces demonstrate that our scheme can provide comparable performance to that of regular Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) when the SWD space usage is no more than 75%.

Design Issues of Shingled Write Disk for Database
To maintain the continuing growth of bit density in magnetic recording media, the disk industry will have to change technologies. Shingled write disks are expected to be the next generation of high capacity magnetic disks and already in prototype. Shingled write technology is not disruptive at the level of disk design and manufacturing, but as shingled writes prevent updates in place, the techn...
متن کاملCaveat-Scriptor: Write Anywhere Shingled Disks
The increasing ubiquity of NAND flash storage is forcing magnetic disks to accelerate the rate at which they lower price per stored bit. Magnetic recording technologists have begun to pack tracks so closely that writing one track cannot avoid disturbing the information stored in adjacent tracks [13]. Specifically, the downstream track will be at least partially overwritten, or shingled by each ...

Shingled Disks and Arrays – Disk drives have seen a dramatic increase in storage density over the last five decades, but to continue the six orders of magnitude growth seems difficult if not impossible. One promising approach to overcome the impending limit is shingled magnetic recording (SMR). It’s particularly appealing as it can be adopted while utilizing essentially the same physical record...

The nature of Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) disks makes log structured file systems suitable for such disks. Nilfs2 is a promising log structured file system and is available in the Linux kernel source as an experimental file system. Nilfs2 is actively maintained and stable, providing a good platform for functional and performance evaluation of SMR disks. The Linux Test Project (LTP) test-s...
متن کاملVirtual Guard: A Track-Based Translation Layer for Shingled Disks
Virtual Guard (Vguard) is a track-based static mapping translation layer for shingled magnetic recording (SMR) drives. Data is written in-place by caching data from the next track in the shingling direction, allowing direct overwrite of sectors in the target track. This enables Vguard to take advantage of track-level locality, nearly eliminating cleaning for many workloads. We compare performan...
