According as the users can connect to remote hosts at anytime by using internet, the demand of non-stop system is increased. Also, the research about on-line adding/deleting disks and hosts are progressed. This paper suggests that the method of reducing additional operation when we add disks to the stripping system. That method can fast mapping like equation based mapping method because of using so-called SZIT(Striping Zone Information Table) and equations. And that method can reduce the relocation overhead in striping system at adding disks.

Recently, the volume of data is increasing rapidly in server for multimedia service, according to development of multimedia application environment. In recent research for storage technology the technology like of the SAN(Storage Area Network) advantages in scalibility of storage devices, and can read data from multiple disk arrays through RAID 0, 5. The RAID 0 and 5 translate to logical address to physical address using equation, but in case of adding disks at the system with equation -based mapping, the problem that we must rearrange the whole data in the previous disks happens. We use the mapping table to solve this problem in recent, but we can not load the whole mapping table in main memory because it occupies too large space. Therefore the extra I/Os are demanded to evaluate real physical address of data, so total performance of the system is degraded. In this paper, we propose the mapping method that supports the scalibility in RAID 0 or 5 system. The proposing method applies small metadata, so- called SZIT and simple equation, so it is possible that we make translate logical address to physical address rapidly and it is scalable in disk extending simultaneously Our suggesting method, if we add disks to the striping system for expanding of storage capacity, has an advantage of never stop service. So, SZlT-based mapping method can do online-disk-expanding in real-time service.

RAID 레벨 중에서 스트라이핑을 하는 시스템에서는 운영중에 디스크를 추가하려면, 기존의 디스크에 저장되어 있는 데이터들은 새로 추가된 디스크를 고려하여 스트라이핑 하기 위해 재구성하는 과정이 필요하다. 이러한 동적디스크 수의 변화에 유연하게 적응할 수 있도록 매핑 테이블을 사용하는 방법들이 제안되고 있으나 관리해야 할 데이터의 양이 디스크 용량에 비례하여 증가하고 메인 메모리에서 모두 관리할 수 없기 때문에 성능이 떨어지는 문제가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 스트라이핑을 하는 RAID 시스템에서 적은 양의 메타데이터(SZIT)를 관리함으로써 동적 디스크 수를 지원하는 계산에 의한 매핑 방법을 제안한다.
