MadMorf writes "From the article: "In this paper we presented an analysis of two large scale
CIFS network file system workloads gathered from
enterprise-class file servers deployed in a corporate and
in an engineering environment. We compared our workloads
to previous file system studies to understand how
file access patterns have changed and conducted a number
of other experiments."
Among their findings:
* Files rarely re-opened. Ninety-Five percent are opened fewer than 5 times after creation.
* Less than 1% of clients account for 50% of requests.
* More than 76% of files are opened by only 1 client.
* Concurrent file sharing very rare. Only 5% of files are opened by multiple clients, 90% of those are read only."
