Virtualize Storage, Not Disks

Authors: 

William Jannen, Chia-che Tsai, and Donald E. Porter, Stony Brook University

Abstract: 

When one uses virtual machines for application compatibility, such as running Windows programs on Linux, the user only wants the API components, yet must emulate a disk drive and execute a second, counterproductive level of media heuristics and I/O scheduling. Systems should have a clean interface between API implementation and media optimization, which would lead to more efficient paravirtualization and facilitate rapid, independent evolution of media optimizations and API features. We describe a design that meets these goals, called Zoochory.
