Large files in UNIX
This file system has long remained one of the most sophisticated implementations
for UNIX file systems, the decisive one of the major problems limited the spread
of Linux in critical environments - no file ... At last year's exhibition
LinuxExpo company SGI announced the delivery of its file system technology with
XFS logging community of freely distributed programs.
This file system has long remained one of the most sophisticated implementations
for UNIX file systems, the decisive one of the major problems limited the spread
of Linux in critical environments - no file system to the maintenance log. In
addition, XFS supports all 64 - bit functions for the files, which will enable
scalable support for Linux file system containing 18 million Terabytes of data
and files up to 9 million Tbytes. This step had a significant impact on the
future of Linux as a platform for enterprise-class applications. Curious to see
how even in the UNIX organized work with large files. XFS File System
The need for scaling OS and file systems emerged in the late 80 - x, where
capacity discs start approaching 2 Gbytes - the limit then existing file systems,
and it became clear that users would soon need new systems that can work with
large files (Table 1) . The first responded to this call, SGI and Digital
Equipment, the company that most closely confronted then to corporate users.
When you create a file system of the new millennium, SGI developers sought to
address a number of basic issues of architecture, capable of guaranteeing
scalability and fault tolerance when a large number of files virtually unlimited
size. As a result of a scalable system XFS, which had no unparalleled in the
management of large files and directories that contain a huge number of files.
XFS provides high reliability and quick recovery from failures without loss of
productivity. In short, zapoluchiv in its arsenal this file system, Linux will
significantly increase capacity. XFS Linux Technology provides several
advantages.
