Reading

WOLF only changes the write cache structures of LFS. The read operations are not affected. As a result, we expect that WOLF has similar read performance as that of LFS when the system is lightly loaded. When the system is heavily loaded, WOLF should have better read performance because of its more efficient garbage collection process that reduces the competition for disk bandwidth.
