RobuSTore: a distributed storage architecture with robust and high performance
Huaxia Xia,Andrew A. Chien +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes RobuSTore, a storage architecture that combines erasure codes and speculative access mechanisms for parallel write and read in distributed environments that can effectively aggregate the bandwidth from a large number of distributed disks and statistically tolerate pear-disk performance variation.

A transparently-scalable metadata service for the Ursa Minor storage system
TL;DR: The metadata service of the Ursa Minor distributed storage system scales metadata throughput as metadata servers are added by reusing existing metadata migration functionality to avoid complex distributed transaction protocols.

Systems and methods of searching for and determining modified blocks in a file system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of determining if a block was modified in a file system by comparing the versions of the base snapshot, the delta snapshot, and the space map block entry (b, e).

Scalability in the XFS file system
TL;DR: The architecture and design of a new file system, XFS, for Silicon Graphics' IRIX operating system is described, and the use of B+ trees in place of many of the more traditional linear file system structures are discussed.
