File Systems: Top to Bottom and Back

Half Day Afternoon
(1:30 pm-5:00 pm)

Thurgood Marshall East Ballroom

Linux
S8
New!
Richard Elling, Nexenta Systems
Description: 

Linux systems offer a staggering number of options for file systems. With a bit of work, you can get pretty much any legacy file system to be recognized. However, for current production needs, only a very few of those many, many choices actually matter: Ext4, Btrfs, and ZFS. This course will discuss these three file systems in gory detail and present the results of a variety of performance tests, run/supervised by the presenter, which were designed to test the file systems in real computing operations (as opposed to benchmark scenarios).

Who should attend: 

System administrators who wish to understand the structure and performance of modern file systems from an in-use point of view. This is not a course for kernel hackers, though; people wanting an in-depth look at the VFS code will not have their needs met.

Take back to work: 

An understanding of the benefits of and differences between the three file systems under a variety of realistic scenarios.

Topics include: 
  • Virtual file system (VFS) overview
  • Ext4 structure and goals
  • Btrfs structure and goals
  • ZFS structure and goals
  • Performance results
