  Abstract

In this paper, we present efficient cache replacement policies for the software RAID file system. The performance of this policies is compared to two other policies previously proposed for conventional file systems and adapted for the software RAID file system. As in hardware RAID systems, we found small-writes to be the performance bottleneck in software RAID file systems. To tackle this small-write problem, we propose cache replacement policies. Using trace driven simulations we show that the proposed policies improve performance in the aspect of the average response time and the average system busy time.
