Quantitative evaluation of file management performance improvements
Pages 63 - 68
Abstract
Operating systems generally provide file management service, routines that are employed by user tasks to access secondary storage. This paper is concerned with quantitative evaluation of several suggested performance improvements to the file management system of the Xerox Data Systems (XDS) operating systems.

Recommendations
A multiple-file write scheme for improving write performance of small files in Fast File System
Fast File System (FFS) stores files to disk in separate disk writes, each of which incurs a disk positioning (seek + rotation) limiting the write performance for small files. We propose a new scheme called co-writing to accelerate small file writes in ...
