Seek Algorithms • FCFS • SSTF • SCAN - ssd in preferred direction • CSCAN - outer to inner, ssd, jump to outer • FSCAN - scan for only those at start of scan • nSCAN - only first n requests • LOOK - lookahead & change diretion • C-LOOK - outer to inner & jump
Rotation Algorithms • SLTF - latency, by sector position • SPTF - positioning-time • SATF - access-time (next in appearance)
Other considerations • Cache • Fragmentation • Partitioning • Compression • Record blocking • Hot-spot detection (speeds up access)
problems • Write-through • Coherency is high • Lazy-write • Low coherency
RAID • 0 - striping - no FT • 1 - mirroring (see my patent) • 2 - bit-striping with Hamming parity stripes • 3 - like 2 but XOR ECC stripes • 4 - large block stripes + XOR ECC stripes • 5 - like 4 but parity with data • 0+1 - 2 striped disks + 2 mirrors • 10 - mirrored disks + a striped pair
