whitepaper From an implementation view, a local zone does not instantiate a separate operating system kernel as is done with virtual machines; instead zones operate as resource "Containers. From an application view, the zone appears to be an independent...
[29 Feb 2008]
whitepaper Learn about the new kernel transaction manager, the self-healing NTFS file system, I/O completion port improvements, hypervisor support, service security hardening, clean service shutdown, dynamic system address space, improved detection of...
[23 Dec 2007]
whitepaper Automatic Storage Management allows the DBA to define a pool of storage (called a disk groups) and then the Oracle kernel manages the file naming and placement of the database files on that pool of storage.
[14 Nov 2007]
whitepaper The paper concludes with a discussion of performance considerations and the kernel's I/O subsystems. This white paper looks at the more advanced I/O system calls that Linux provides. It discusses various facets of advanced I/O, from the more...
[24 Oct 2007]
whitepaper The paper steps through the installation of the Oracle database and the use of the patched kernel for configuring Linux for FireWire as well as the installation and configuration of Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) on a FireWire shared-storage...
[26 Sep 2007]
whitepaper This enables a user-level file system structure in which client-side functionality for remote data access resides in a library rather than in the kernel. This structure addresses longstanding performance problems stemming from weak integration of...
[23 Aug 2007]
whitepaper Compared to traditional file system and disk I/O benchmarking tools, SPEK is highly accurate and efficient since it runs at kernel level and eliminates file system overheads. This paper introduces SPEK (Storage Performance Evaluation Kernel module...
[23 Aug 2007]
whitepaper This paper develops a file system-based snapshot for the ext3 le system in Linux kernel 2.6. Snapshot is to create an instant image of a file system. The main concept of the file system-based snapshot mainly comes from old-version SnapFS.
[18 May 2007]
whitepaper AliEnFS (AliEn File System) integrates the AliEn file catalogue as a new file system type into the Linux kernel using LUFS, a hybrid user space file system framework (Open Source). LUFS uses a special kernel interface level called VFS (Virtual File...
[18 Apr 2007]
whitepaper The environment is based on Red Hat Linux and adds kernel modifications, cluster system management, monitoring and failure detection, resource management, authentication and access control, development environment, and parallel file system.
[18 Apr 2007]
whitepaper The mechanism for exporting a new file system in Unix, however, has traditionally required adding functionality to the kernel, which can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Files and file systems comprise the most important and flexible interfaces...
[04 Apr 2007]
whitepaper The new methods have been implemented as a set of patches to the Linux Kernel series 2.6 and the relevant system tools. The most common way to implement full-disk encryption (as opposed to encrypted file systems) in the GNU/Linux operating system...
[04 Apr 2007]
whitepaper But, as it turns out, the standard Linux kernel can't deliver the hard realtime capabilities - such as predictable response times and microsecond latencies - that a large number of embedded systems demand.
[04 Apr 2007]
whitepaper For this paper, the authors conducted a basic numerical analysis of the Macintosh OS X Darwin kernel and Ubuntu Linux 2.6 kernel by testing several different aspects inherent to the operating system. To test memory duress response, the authors...
[03 Apr 2007]
whitepaper At first it introduces the DSC platform and development environments and next the authors explain the optimization method for the bootloader and the kernel bootup time. The paper describe root file system, device driver module configuration and DSC...
[03 Apr 2007]
whitepaper The Linux kernel is unique in that it supports a wide variety of high-quality filesystems. On the smaller systems, the best-performing file system is often Ext2, Ext3 or ReiserFS. Although the best-performing filesystem varies depending on the...
[03 Apr 2007]
whitepaper The Linux random number generator is part of the kernel of all Linux distributions and is based on generating randomness from entropy of operating system events. The output of this generator is used for almost every security protocol, including TLS...
[01 Apr 2007]
whitepaper During development, MMP exposed two kernel bugs in common, heavily-tested code, and during fault injection experiments, it prevented three of five file system corruptions. This paper presents the design and an evaluation of Mondrix, a version of...
[01 Apr 2007]
whitepaper And the authors also describe corresponding changes in Linux kernel memory management to support this cooperative caching scheme. In this paper, the authors propose a cooperative caching scheme, which not only allows the operating system to avoid...
[01 Apr 2007]
whitepaper This white paper discusses the configurable NFS (Network File System) and KRPC (Kernel Remote Procedure Call) kernel tunables or kernel parameters in HP-UX 11i v2 and describes how to manage them. Tunables are variables that control the behavior of...
