NILFS is a new implementation of a log-structured file system for the
|
|
Linux 2.6 operating system. Conventional features of a log-structured
|
|
file systems (LFS) are high write performance and fast recovery time.
|
|
In addition, LFS prevents data write operations from overwriting the
|
|
disk blocks, thereby minimizing the damage to file data and system
|
|
consistency on hardware failure. Furthermore, LFS writes data and
|
|
meta-data in the correct order which helps ensuring consistency in the
|
|
entire file system. LFS can instantaneously create file system
|
|
snapshots and check the file system speedy. We implemented ``NILFS''
|
|
using modern technology: For example, the file and inode blocks are
|
|
managed by a B-tree structure, internal data are processed in 64 bit
|
|
wide word size. The B-tree structure enables ``NILFS'' to create and
|
|
store huge files.
