File systems are tasked with storing,
organizing, and retrieving valuable data for long periods of time. This requires
them to provide excellent fault-tolerance and reliability standards throughout
their extended lifetime. As a result, most file systems follow a conservative
development model and evolve slowly.This PDF thesis Exploiting File System
Awareness for Improvements to Storage Virtualization is a research paper on File
Systems and covers the following topics : Introduction, Background and
Motivation, Design, Prototype Implementation, Evaluation, Related Work, Future
Work, Conclusion.
