In this story, we'll follow the life story of alice - a file-systemized I/O request, and bob - a raw-device I/O request, from their birth, until they reach heaven (the disk or the USB camera or...).
In addition, we will cover some system parameters that affect I/O requests, the buffer cache, disk I/O schedulers and tools used to track and count I/O (including - why is process-based I/O accounting so tricky). i didn't even write down the table of contents yet (with my poor PC's untimely crippledness) - but i imagine 2 meetings may be needed to cover this. any takers? anyone already has all the needed material (lack of such material was the initial trigger for this proposal)? --guy _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list [email protected] http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
