One of TWO best papers at FAST (Score 2, Informative)

This Google paper just appeared at the 5th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (a.k.a. FAST), the premier conference on file systems and storage. It won one of the best paper awards.

You might be interested in the other best paper award winner (in the shameless self-promotion department): TFS: A Transparent File System for Contributory Storage , by Jim Cipar, Mark Corner, and Emery Berger (Dept. of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts Amherst). Briefly, it describes how you can make all the empty space on your disk available for others to use, without affecting your own use of the disk (no performance impact, and you can still use the space if you need it).

Enjoy!
