DHIS: discriminating hierarchical storage
Chaitanya Yalamanchili, Kiron Vijayasankar, Erez Zadok, Gopalan Sivathanu
May 2009
SYSTOR '09: Proceedings of SYSTOR 2009: The Israeli Experimental Systems Conference
Publisher: ACM

A typical storage hierarchy comprises of components with varying performance and cost characteristics, providing multiple options for data placement. We propose and evaluate a hierarchical storage system, DHIS, that uses application-level hints to discriminate ...

Selective versioning in a secure disk system
Swaminathan Sundararaman, Gopalan Sivathanu, Erez Zadok
July 2008
SS'08: Proceedings of the 17th conference on Security symposium
Publisher: USENIX Association
Additional Information:full citation, abstract, references, index terms
 Bibliometrics:  Downloads (6 Weeks): n/a,   Downloads (12 Months): n/a,   Citation Count: 2

Making vital disk data recoverable even in the event of OS compromises has become a necessity, in view of the increased prevalence of OS vulnerability exploits over the recent years. We present the design and implementation of a secure disk system, SVSDS, ...

Exploiting type-awareness in a self-recovering disk
Kiron Vijayasankar, Gopalan Sivathanu, Swaminathan Sundararaman, Erez Zadok
October 2007
StorageSS '07: Proceedings of the 2007 ACM workshop on Storage security and survivability
Publisher: ACM
Full text available: PdfPdf (301.98 KB)

 Bibliometrics:  Downloads (6 Weeks): 2,   Downloads (12 Months): 42,   Citation Count: 0

Data recoverability in the face of partial disk errors is an important prerequisite in modern storage. We have designed and implemented a prototype disk system that automatically ensures the integrity of stored data, and transparently recovers vital ...

Rapid file system development using ptrace
Richard P. Spillane, Charles P. Wright, Gopalan Sivathanu, Erez Zadok
June 2007
ecs'07: Experimental computer science on Experimental computer science
Publisher: USENIX Association
Additional Information:full citation, abstract, references, index terms
 Bibliometrics:  Downloads (6 Weeks): n/a,   Downloads (12 Months): n/a,   Citation Count: 0

Developing kernel-level file systems is a difficult task that requires a significant time investment. For experimental file systems, it is desirable to develop a prototype before investing the time required to develop a kernel-level file system. We have ...

Extending ACID semantics to the file system
Charles P. Wright, Richard Spillane, Gopalan Sivathanu, Erez Zadok
June 2007
Transactions on Storage (TOS) , Volume 3 Issue 2

Full text available: PdfPdf (783.03 KB)
Additional Information:full citation, abstract, references, index terms
 Bibliometrics:  Downloads (6 Weeks): 15,   Downloads (12 Months): 282,   Citation Count: 5

An organization's data is often its most valuable asset, but today's file systems provide few facilities to ensure its safety. Databases, on the other hand, have long provided transactions. Transactions are useful because they provide atomicity, consistency, ...

Type-safe disks
Gopalan Sivathanu, Swaminathan Sundararaman, Erez Zadok
November 2006
OSDI '06: Proceedings of the 7th symposium on Operating systems design and implementation

Full text available: PdfPdf (258.93 KB)
Additional Information:full citation, abstract, references
 Bibliometrics:  Downloads (6 Weeks): 1,   Downloads (12 Months): 22,   Citation Count: 5

We present the notion of a type-safe disk (TSD). Unlike a traditional disk system, a TSD is aware of the pointer relationships between disk blocks that are imposed by higher layers such as the file system. A TSD utilizes this knowledge in two ...

On incremental file system development
Erez Zadok, Rakesh Iyer, Nikolai Joukov, Gopalan Sivathanu, Charles P. Wright
May 2006

 Bibliometrics:  Downloads (6 Weeks): 16,   Downloads (12 Months): 194,   Citation Count: 10

Developing file systems from scratch is difficult and error prone. Using layered, or stackable, file systems is a powerful technique to incrementally extend the functionality of existing file systems on commodity OSes at runtime. In this article, we ...
