[PLUG] Advanced Topics - Additional Info

[Chris Jantzen]

(Actually had this for a while and submitted it to both lists, but as I
heard at one mtg, the moderation queue is woefully unattended.)

Modern File Systems

As this talk was given as additional material for an operating systems
class (my motivation: I was frustrated that all my classmates were
learning about file systems predating 1985) it will touch largely on
structure, theory, and methodology. As such performance characteristics
will be discussed (and are important), but no detailed hard benchmarks
will be provided. Only two file systems will be covered internally (ext2
and WAFL).

The talk is divided into two principle sections: traditional, local file
systems and modern advances; and network-oriented file systems (be
careful -- not network file systems).

As a projector may or may not be present, you might want to at least
glance over the slides from the presentation so as not to squint at my
tiny laptop. I don't feel inclined to drop them from the presentation as
many are fairly visual.

Note that the direction and content of the talk given at Paddy's will
probably vary a fair bit from the slides as presented due to the
different context, interests, and background of both of the audiences.
