[comp.os.research] File system references sought, file structure & striping

jrg@claris.UUCP (John R. Galloway) (04/08/88)

I am interested in finding references to work done on non tradational
methods of keeping track of file structure (i.e. which physical
block is file ID x, logical page N).  I know a lot of work has been
done in this area by Xerox but I do not have the specific papers
on it.

Also I am interested in finding references to work done on striping
(using several physical disks as one logical disks so files are
smeared and/or interleaved across several volumes for throughput
increases).

much thanks.

Everything I say is the precise view of my employer but, has not
the slightest thing to do with Apple Computer Corp.
