Journaling File System
EECS 582 – W164
Journaling File System
Journal
Fixed-block FS
Write “hello world” to file
1. Meta-data for file
2. Write “hello world”
Client
3. Write commit Slide5
Journaling FS
What should we write to the journal? Meta-data? Actual data?When should we `commit’ data to the journal? After each journal entry? After the data is written to the disk?

SBA analysis
EECS 582 – W1610Block-level analysis:
Block number – understand seq. or random accessTiming of each block - understand bursts of traffic
Semantic information:
Distinguish between journal blocks and in-place dataSlide11
