What is a File-Systems
Is a Method of storing and organizing datato make it easy to find and access.
...to interact with an objectYou name it, and you say
what you want it do.
The Filesystem takes the name you giveLooks through disk to find the objectGives the object your request to do something.

The File-System
You can specify what byte to start to read/write from,
and the number of bytes to read/write.
A file is something that tries to look like a sequence of bytes.
You can read the bytes, and write the bytes.
Cutting bytes out of the middle or the beginning of a file, and inserting bytes into the middle of a file, are not permitted!

...to interact with an objectYou name it, and you say
what you want it do.
For the end user this name has a meaning and this meaning should be captured by the Semantic Layer,
while the rest of the Storage Layer is not interested in the meaning of the name.
User defined name has generally a variable length and tends to be verbose, while the storage layer needs
something fixed size and short, to ensure a quick lookup. To do this, objects names are converted in keys that can be a simple hash of the name or something more elaborated.
Semantic Layer
The semantic layer takes names and converts them into keys,
the Storage Layer take keys and finds the objects

Requests
Operationscreate(): Create a new object, Unix place this object in parent directory object, Set Unix Stat, ...open(): Open specified object.lookup(): Lookup Key of specified object.
move(): Change name or location of specified object.unlink(): specified object, Unix remove this object from parent directory object.
Semantic Layeru n i x S e m a n t i c
Every objectmust be in one directory
root ‘/’ is the entry point
Parse Object Nametraverse each directory
check permissionand open it.
Internal nodes Leaf nodes (Stat/Meta data)Root node
A B+Tree can be usedto map Object Key
to its Metadata
Semantic LayerF l a t S e m a n t i c
Same Levelfor every Objects
No forced Hierarchy
Lookup item just by name
No Directory Traversal open(‘mytable’)
open(‘office-documents/stats’)
Object Layer
create(): Initialize object data structure for creation.open(): Initialize object data structure for open.close(): Uninitialize object data structure.
read(): Read specified object data.write(): Write specified data to object.append(): Append Data to object.remove(): Remove specified data from object.
truncate(): Truncate or extend object to specified length.inject(): Inject block data to a specified object.chop(): Remove block data from specified object.
An object contains your data
Different Data Types have different
methods and needs
MimicLanguages Typesset, dict, list, ...
Log Object (Append Only)
KV Object (Hashtable)
Set Object (Think at Dirs)
Flow Object (Write Anywhere)
Table Object (Database Table)
Record Object (C Struct)...
Operations
• read(offset, length)
• write(offset, length)
• inject(offset, length)
• remove(offset, length)
• truncate(size)
Extent list,Pointers to data... Insert/Remove
Block Every-Where
Like a regular ‘80s filebut with more flexibility
Flow Object
• read(index, n)
• append(name)
• remove(index)
• remove(name)
Keep trackof objects stored
(names)
Object-AObject-BObject-C
... table/userstable/addrs
...
Object-AObject-XObject-YObject-Z
...
Pages list,Object Names...
Semantic Layerdoesn’t guarantee
to keep Objects Names
Dir Object
Wait! Wait! Dir Object is just a Set!
• read(recno)
• write(recno)
• inject(recno)
• remove(recno)
• truncate(n)
RecNo ObjectExtent Record list,Pointers to data... Insert/Remove
Record Every-Where
Like Flow Objectbut with a fixed size
user defined structure
Metadata keep tractfields sizes and names
Device Layer
Different Layoutfor different types
for different workloads
Where data is Stored?Memory
Disk (Raid?)Somewhere (DFS)
Block AllocationBitmapExtents?
Operationsalloc(): Allocate a block (touch bitmap/space-map)dealloc(): Deallocate a block (touch bitmap/space-map)
read(): Read some data from diskwrite(): Write data on disk
insert(): Insert Key/Value to the B+Treeremove(): Remove Key/Value from the B+Treelookup(): Retrive Key Value from the B+Tree
