Abstract:
본 발명은 데이터를 중복 저장하는 읽기 연산 집약 시스템에서 디스크에 저장되는 데이터 블록의 배치를 수정하고 이에 따른 새로운 맵핑 방식을 제공함으로써 기존의 데이터 중복 저장 방식(RAID1)의 장점인 데이터 신뢰성을 유지하면서 동시에 데이터 분산 저장 방식(RAID0)의 빠른 읽기 성능을 갖는 대용량 데이터에 대한 데이터 중복 저장 시스템에 관한 것이다. 본 발명의 데이터 중복 저장 시스템은 원본 데이터를 저장하는 원본 디스크와 상기 원본 데이터에 대한 사본들을 저장하는 다수의 중복 디스크들로 구성되며, 디스크 개수만큼의 연속적인 데이터 블록들을 그룹핑하여 상기 원본 디스크와 상기 중복 디스크들에 대한 SMU들을 생성한 후 각 디스크내에서 SMU 순서에 따라 SMU에 SMUno값을 부여하고 각 SMU내에서의 데이터 블록의 순서에 따라 데이터 블록에 SMUidx값을 부여하며, 동일 SMUno값의 각 SMU내에서의 동일 데이터 블록들은 각 디스크마다 서로 다른 배치 순서를 갖는 것을 특징으로 한다.
Abstract:
A system having RAID levels includes a storage medium, a memory and a CPU. The storage medium has at least two disks. The memory stores a striping zone information table of total disks in which a physical address of data recorded in a disk of the storage medium is converted into a logic address. The CPU modifies a striping zone information table stored in the memory in case a new disk is added to the storage medium, stores the modified striping zone information table in the memory, converts a logic address of data to be written/read out from the stored table into a physical address in response to the disk writing/reading instructions, searches positions of a corresponding disk D and a physical block B and controls writing or reading out data.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for managing a global buffer capable of executing a load distribution in a cluster system is provided to calculate loads of each host and distribute a request of a global buffer manager for preventing a performance decline caused by a concentration to a specific host in a system of a system load necessary for an operation of a global buffer manager when a buffer cache is shared among many hosts through a global buffer manager in a cluster system. CONSTITUTION: The upper module of a specific host of a cluster system requests a transmission of a buffer block to a global buffer manager(S131). The global buffer manager requests a permission as to a corresponding disk block to a locking manager(S132). The locking manager transmits a response message including an accept of the permission to the global buffer manager(S133). If the global buffer manager acquires a permission, it is checked whether a requested buffer block exists in a buffer cache of a host having a permission(S136). If a requested buffer block does not exist in a buffer cache of a host having a permission, it is checked whether a requested buffer block exists in a buffer cache of other host(S137). If a requested buffer block exists in a buffer cache of other host, a transmission of a buffer block is requested to other host through a communication module(S138,S140). If a transmission of a buffer block requested to other host is failed, the buffer block requested through a disk I/O is copied to the buffer cache(S139). The copied buffer block or a buffer block received from a buffer cache of other host is transmitted to the upper module(S142). If the upper block requests a release of a buffer block use, the global buffer manager returns a permission as to the buffer block(S145).

PURPOSE: A system for sharing client data for distributing a load of a server and a method thereof are provided to transmit and process data among clients by transforming and applying a P2P(Peer-to-Peer) which is a file sharing method on the Internet to a client/server environment. CONSTITUTION: A server portion component(100) manages client information being connected to the server and information of data cached the client, and performs a control for making the client which caches corresponding data in accordance with a data request from a connected specific client support data. A client portion component(200) processes a connection formation for sharing cache data with other client connected to the server in accordance with a message from the server portion component(100). The client portion component(200) includes a packet conversion module(210) for converting and using a packet being used in a conventional client/server system, and a communication module among clients(220) for performing a connection formation for sharing data among clients connected to the server.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for journaling and recovering a shared disk file system is provided to increase a journaling speed by transmitting the changed metadata through network without reflecting to a disk if one host changes the metadata and other host accesses the same metadata in a shared disk environment such as an SAN(Storage Area Network) environment. CONSTITUTION: If a system call operation for processing journaling is occurred, a new transaction region is allotted and initialized by staring a transaction for guaranteeing the recovery, and a transaction type is set. The transaction manages the lock information by getting the lock information for the changed information and adding it to the transaction, and the update of the changed metadata is pinned while the metadata is changed(201). The changed metadata added to the transaction and the changed information for the important general data are stored in a journal space, and the lock information connected to the transaction is unlocked(203).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for managing a logical volume for minimizing the dynamic size change and a metadata volume is provided to manage the logical volume by using a mapping table for a relation between a logical and a physical address and a minimal storage for the system metadata. CONSTITUTION: The logical volume is generated by gathering the disk partitions according to a logical volume configuration request for a physical storage. The metadata including the information for the disk partitions joining with the logical and the physical volume and stores the metadata in the disk partition. A size of the logical volume is dynamically changed by receiving a change request from the disk partition configuring the logical volume and the change of the metadata needed to change the logical volume is carried out. The physical address corresponding to the mapping information of the metadata storing the information of the physical address matched with the logical address is understood and returned by receiving the logical address of the logical volume.

Abstract:
A journaling method is provided for supporting a recovery when a system is abnormally terminated in a shared disk environment. When a system call operation to take part in a journaling is generated, in order to guarantee a recovery, a transaction is started and new transaction region is assigned. Then, a system is initialized and a transaction type is set up. Lock information on modified data is acquired and added to the transaction so that a transaction manages lock information. A reflection to a disk during a modification of metadata is prevented. Modified metadata added to the transaction and modified information on principal general data are recorded. Then, lock information connected to the transaction is released.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A mass file storage system and a dynamic bitmap management method are provided to dynamically allocate a bit map without being restricted by a file size so that it can effectively manage large sized files. CONSTITUTION: The method comprises several steps. A bit map is read from a storage device(S521). A pattern value is read from the header of the bit map in order to be compared with an object pattern requested by a file system(S522). If the pattern of the bit map is identical to that of the object pattern, the number of used bits is compared with that of the total bits(S523). If the number of the used bits is less than that of the total bits, unused bits are set with "1"(S524). Then, a bit map area is allocated to a corresponding object(S525). If the pattern of the bit map is not identical to that of the object or the number of the used bits is more than that of the total bits, it is checked whether there is a bit map in use allocated at a current bit map area(S526). If there is a bit map in use, a new bit map is read, otherwise an unused bit map is selected from a bit map area and is set with a requested pattern(S527). Then, the first bit of the new allocated bit map is set with "1" for allocating a bit map area to the object(S528).
