We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Migratory File Service (MFS), a system designed to exploit semantic knowledge of workloads and user expectations to improve performance and handle failures effectively ...

We present measurements and analysis of the Linux ext3 file system. We develop and apply a novel analysis method known as semantic block-level analysis (SBA), which examines the low-level block stream that a file system ...

We present icTCP, an "information and control" TCP implementation that exposes key pieces of internal TCP state and allows certain TCP variables to be set in a safe fashion. The primary benefit of icTCP is that it enables ...

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of D-GRAID, a gracefully-degrading and quickly-recovering RAID storage array. D-GRAID ensures that most files within the file system remain available even when an ...
