    Study of File System Evolution Swaminathan Sundararaman, Sriram Subramanian Department of Computer Science University of Wisconsin {swami, srirams} @cs.wisc.edu Abstract File systems have traditionally been a major area of file systems are typically developed and maintained by research and development. This is evident from the several programmer across the globe. At any point in existence of over 50 file systems of varying popularity time, for a file system, there are three to six active in the current version of the Linux kernel. They developers, ten to fifteen patch contributors but a single represent a complex subsystem of the kernel, with each maintainer. These people communicate through file system employing different strategies for tackling individual file system mailing lists [14, 16, 18] various issues. Although there are many file systems in submitting proposals for new features, enhancements, Linux, there has been no prior work (to the best of our reporting bugs, submitting and reviewing patches for knowledge) on understanding how file systems evolve. known bugs. The problems with the open source We believe that such information would be useful to the development approach is that all communication is file system community allowing developers to learn buried in the mailing list archives and aren’t easily from previous experiences. accessible to others. As a result when new file systems are developed they do not leverage past experience and This paper looks at six file systems (Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, could end up re-inventing the wheel. To make things JFS, ReiserFS, and XFS) from a historical perspective worse, people could typically end up doing the same (between kernel versions 1.0 to 2.6) to get an insight on mistakes as done in other file systems.

  • Kernel Architecture File System
    Kernel Architecture File System Kernel File System: Author: SREENIVAS REDDY BATHULA Introduction: Network File System (NFS) protocols are initially developed by SUN Micro Systems and IBM. NFS are end user friendly because of remote system file sharing and friendly authorization. Many File Systems in Linux is possible because of open source code, so everyone have equal chance to develop, make it efficient and compatible for their work. At present there is more then 20 different file systems. The developing file systems can handle huge number of large files competing with time and varies operating system features. Some of the most frequently used file systems, which are present in the market are discussed here briefly. Those file systems are : EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, ReiserFS, GFS, GPFS, JFS, NSS, NTFS, FAT32, NWFS, OCFS2, PMS, VFS, VxFS and XFS. EXT 2/3/4 : EXT2 + Journals = EXT3 EXT3 + POSIX extended file access + htrees = EXT4 EXT4 + EXT3 + extents = ReiserFS Journalling : Journalling is a type of filesystem that handle a log of recent meta-data. Journaling reducess time spent on recovering a filesystem. It is applicable even when we have group of cluster nodes. This meta-data Journalling widely used in Linux. Specially in ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, ext3 and GFS. EXT2 most popular file system. EXT2 stands for 'second extended file system'. It replaced Minix file system. Positive point is data lose protection negative is Ext2 doesn't have journalling so it breaks easily. EXT3 is basically ext2 plus a journal. Fast & robust. You can switch between ext2 and ext3. EXT3 take care about metadata. So you never lose a file.
