Atropos: A Disk Array Volume Manager for Orchestrated Use of Disks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Atropos logical volume manager allows applications to exploit characteristics of its underlying collection of disks. It stripes data in track-sized units and explicitly exposes the boundaries, allowing applications to maximize efficiency for sequential access patterns even when they share the array. Further, it supports efficient diagonal access to blocks on adjacent tracks, allowing applications to orchestrate the layout and access to twodimensional data structures, such as relational database tables, to maximize performance for both row-based and column-based accesses.

متن کاملThesis Proposal Efficient data organization and management on heterogeneous storage hierarchies
As a central part of database systems, data organization has a direct impact on functionality and performance of data management applications. Current data organization, based on the conventional linear abstract of storage devices, linearizes multidimensional data along a preselected dimension when storing them to disks. Therefore existing data organizations have inherent performance tradeoffs ...
متن کاملDisks, Partitions, Volumes and RAID Performance with the Linux Operating System
Block devices in computer operating systems typically correspond to disks or disk partitions, and are used to store files in a filesystem. Disks are not the only real or virtual device which adhere to the block accessible stream of bytes block device model. Files, remote devices, or even RAM may be used as a virtual disks. This article examines several common combinations of block device layers...
متن کاملDetailed study on Linux Logical Volume Manager
Logical Volumes have the following advantages over physical volumes 1. Flexible Capacity: Since multiple disks can be aggregated into single logical volume files systems can extend over multiple disks. 2. Resize-ability: The size of the logical volume can be increased or decreased without reformatting the underlying disk. 3. Disk Striping: Logical volumes can stripe across two or more disks. 4....
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
