Advanced file system implementations We’ve looked at disks We’ve looked at file systems generically We’ve looked in detail at the implementation of the original Bell Labs UNIX file system a great simple yet practical design exemplifies engineering tradeoffs that are pervasive in system design Now we’ll look at two more advanced file systems Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) UNIX Fast File System (FFS) enhanced performance for the UNIX file system at the heart of most UNIX file systems today Berkeley Log-Structured File System (LFS) a research file system – a worth experiment 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

© 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy BSD UNIX FFS Original (1970) UNIX file system was elegant but slow poor disk throughput far too many seeks, on average Berkeley UNIX project did a redesign in the mid ’80’s McKusick, Joy, Fabry, and Leffler improved disk throughput, decreased average request response time principal idea is that FFS is aware of disk structure i.e., place related things on nearby cylinders to reduce seeks 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

Recall the UNIX disk layout Boot block can boot the system by loading from this block Superblock specifies boundaries of next 3 areas, and contains head of freelists of inodes and file blocks i-node area contains descriptors (i-nodes) for each file on the disk; all i-nodes are the same size; head of freelist is in the superblock File contents area fixed-size blocks; head of freelist is in the superblock Swap area holds processes that have been swapped out of memory 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

Recall the UNIX block list / file content structure directory entries point to i-nodes – file headers each i-node contains a bunch of stuff including 15 block pointers first 12 point to file blocks (i.e., 4KB blocks of file data) then single, double, and triple indirect indexes … … 1 … … 12 13 … … 14 … 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

UNIX FS data and i-node placement Original UNIX FS had two major performance problems: data blocks are allocated randomly in aging file systems blocks for the same file allocated sequentially when FS is new as FS “ages” and fills, need to allocate blocks freed up when other files are deleted deleted files are essentially randomly placed so, blocks for new files become scattered across the disk! i-nodes are allocated far from blocks all i-nodes at beginning of disk, far from data traversing file name paths, manipulating files, directories requires going back and forth from i-nodes to data blocks BOTH of these generate many long seeks! 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

© 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy FFS: Cylinder groups FFS addressed these problems using the notion of a cylinder group disk is partitioned into groups of cylinders data blocks from a file are all placed in the same cylinder group files in same directory are placed in the same cylinder group i-node for file placed in same cylinder group as file’s data Introduces a free space requirement to be able to allocate according to cylinder group, the disk must have free space scattered across all cylinders in FFS, 10% of the disk is reserved just for this purpose! good insight: keep disk partially free at all times! this is why it may be possible for df to report >100% full! 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

FFS: Increased block size, fragments I lied: the original UNIX FS had 1KB blocks, not 4KB blocks even more seeking small maximum file size (¼ as much user data per block, ¼ as many pointers per indirect block), ~17GB maximum file size FFS fixed this by using a larger block (4KB) allows for very large files (4TB) but, introduces internal fragmentation on average, each file wastes 2K! why? worse, the average file size is only about 1K! fix: introduce “fragments” 1KB pieces of a block 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

FFS: Awareness of hardware characteristics Original UNIX FS was unaware of disk parameters FFS parameterizes the FS according to disk and CPU characteristics e.g., account for CPU interrupt and processing time, plus disk characteristics, in deciding where to lay out sequential blocks of a file, to reduce rotational latency 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy

FFS: Faster, but less elegant (or, “as ugly as the day is long”!) Multiple cylinder groups effectively, treat a single big disk as multiple small disks additional free space requirement (this is cheap, though) Bigger blocks but fragments, to avoid excessive fragmentation Aware of hardware characteristics ugh! 2/23/2019 © 2004 Ed Lazowska & Hank Levy
