Getting Started
The original file system structure was very simple and intuitive.
It was composed of a superblock, inodes, and data blocks (you can picture it easily). Personally, it looks like a Pokemon health bar.
However, it was slow.. and made no effort towards preventing fragmentation.
- Amortization
- Process of reducitn an overhead by doingmore work per overhead paid.
- Parameterization
- Specific performance parameters of the disk and use those to decide on the exact staggered layout scheme.
Exercise
- Think about what data structures must be updated when a file is created.
