Produktbeschreibung

The Linux storage stack serves as a prime example of meticulously coordinated layers. Embark on a journey through the kernel code with Architecture and Design of the Linux Storage Stack, crafted for anyone seeking in-depth knowledge about the layered design of Linux storage and its landscape.
You'll explore the Linux storage stack and its various concepts. You'll unlock the secrets of the virtual filesystem and the actual filesystem and the differences in their implementation, the role of the block layer, the Multi-Queue and Device Mapper frameworks, I/O schedulers, physical storage layout, and how to analyze all the layers in the storage stack.
By the end of this book, you'll be acquainted with how a simple I/O request from a process travels down through all the layers and ends up in physical storage.

Autorenporträt

Muhammad Umer (RHCA®) is a systems engineer and trainer with more than six years of experience in working with Linux based systems, HA design & architecture, tuning operating system and underlying hardware for optimal performance and root cause analysis. Ever since a virus infected his laptop ten years ago, he switched to Linux. Turns out, it wasn't the worst thing that ever happened. He has a particular preference for all things storage and in this book, he has tried to decode the mysteries of the Linux storage stack one disk sector at a time. When not immersed in the binary wonders of storage, you can find him savoring pizza and dreaming of a world where storage is as reliable as a perfectly timed cron job.
