With the recent advances of memory technologies, high-performance non-volatile memories such as non-volatile dual in-line memory module (NVDIMM) have begun to be used as an addition or an alternative to server-side storages. When these memory bus-connected storages (MBSs) are installed over non-uniform memory access (NUMA) servers, the distance between NUMA nodes and MBSs is one of the crucial factors that influence file processing performance, because the access latency of a NUMA system varies depending on its distance from the NUMA nodes. This paper presents the design and implementation of a high-performance logical volume manager for MBSs, called MBS-LVM, when multiple MBSs are scattered over a NUMA server. The MBS-LVM consolidates the address space of each MBS into a single global address space and dynamically utilizes storage spaces such that each thread can access an MBS with the lowest latency possible. We implemented the MBS-LVM in the Linux kernel and evaluated its performance by porting it over the tmpfs, a memory-based file system widely used in Linux. The results of the benchmarking show that the write performance of the tmpfs using MBS-LVM has been improved by up to twenty times against the original tmpfs over a NUMA server with four nodes.

대용량, 고속의 멀티미디어 서비스가 일반화됨에 따라 컨텐츠를 저장하는 서버의 저장 장치 또한 대용량화되고 있다. 그러나 서버를 구성하는 다른 하드웨어 구성 요소에 비해 상대적으로 느린 저장 장치의 입출력 속도와 물리적 또는 논리적인 오류는 시스템 전반의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 또한 컨텐츠의 지속적인 증가로 인한 유연한 확장성이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 소프트웨어 RAID 사용하여 저장 장치의 성능을 향상시키고 신뢰성을 높였으며, LVM을 사용하여 저장 장치에 확장성을 부여하였다. 리눅스 커널 2.4.x에서 제공하는 이러한 기능들을 사용하여 신뢰성과 확장성이 있는 저장 장치를 구현하고 성능을 평가하였다.

In this paper, we developed the scheme to grow to use newly added disk space without having to kill the application, unmount file system. This scheme, called online resizing, can resize the file system layout with the advent of Logical Volume Manager. The online resizing scheme is designed and implemented in linux cluster system where multiple hosts share the disk data in storage area network environment. It is incorporated with SANfs shared file system and can perform resizing technique with SANfs-VM volume manager. The experimental result shows that it can maximize the availability and capacity of the SANfs system which are important for modem servers where must not lose their customer.
