3.1 Disks
Estimating Capacities(1)
Cylinder --> Track --> Sector --> Byte
Track capacity
= # of sectors per track * bytes per sector
Cylinder capacity
= # of tracks per cylinder * track capacity
Drive capacity
= # of cylinders * cylinder capacity
** Inner track, Outer track? Same capacity?

3.1 Disks
Estimating Capacities(2)
Ex) file with 20,000 fixed-length data records
on 300MB disk
# of bytes per sector = 512
# of sectors per track = 40
# of tracks per cylinder = 11
# of cylinders = 1,331
How many cylinders does the file require if each data
record requires 256 bytes?

3.1 Disks
Organizing Tracks by Sector(1)
Two ways to organize data on a disk
by sector & by user-defined block
Physical placement of sectors
logical view and physical view
adequate way to view a file logically, but always not good
way to store sectors physically
interleaving

Organizing Tracks by Sector(3)
Clusters (for improving file access speed)
One file consists of one or more clusters
One cluster is a fixed number of contiguous sectors
Cluster is the smallest unit of space
Contiguous sectors per cluster and Mapping table
No additional seek (arm movement) for one cluster
Very useful when access granularity is medium
large cluster vs. small cluster
FAT (File Allocation Table)
contains a list of all the clusters in file
each cluster entry --> physical location of the cluster

Organizing Tracks by Sector(5)
Fragmentation
the space that goes unused within a cluster, block, track, or
other unit of physical storage
internal fragmentation: loss of space within a sector or cluster
trade-offs in use of large cluster sizes
ex) size of sector is 512 bytes and size of all
records in file is 300 bytes
we may enforce one record / sector
we may allow span sectors
File Structure
SNU-OOPSLA Lab

3.1 Disks
Organizing Tracks by Block(1)
User-defined size of blocks can be fixed or variable
No sector spanning ==> No internal fragmentation
Blocking factor
the number of records that are to be stored in each block
In block-addressing, each block of data is
accompanied by one or more subblocks containing
extra information about the data block
Note: the “block” has a different meaning in the context of the
UNIX I/O system

Sector-addressable disks (physical)
sector/track address, condition, gaps, and synchronization
marks

Block-organized disks (user-defined)
some of nondata for programmer
more nondata provided with blocks than with sectors

3.1 Disks
Nondata Overhead(2)
Ex) block-addressable disks
20,000 bytes/track
subblock, interblock gap equivalent to 300 bytes/block
If we want to store a file containing 100-byte records, how
many records can be stored per track if blocking factor is 10
or 60 ?
if blocking factor is 10, then 20000 / ( (10*100)+300) = 15
blocks ==> 150 records
if blocking factor is 60, 180 records(=3 blocks)
File Structure
SNU-OOPSLA Lab

3.1 Disks
Nondata Overhead(3)
Block-organized scheme
larger blocking factor (many records in a block)
less amount of nondata block
more efficient use of storage
pros.
flexibility -> savings in time & efficiency
cons.
internal fragmentation problem
necessary for programmer and OS to do extra data
organization
sector interleaving cannot be used to improve performance

Effect of Block Size on Performance (In UNIX)
UC Berkeley CSRG team
Many experiments in BSD UNIX System
Trade-off between block size, fragmentation, access time
Doubling block size to 1,024 bytes improves performance by
more than a factor of 2
In 512-byte block size:
the slow throughput & low internal fragmentation (6.9%)
In 4,096-byte block:
the fastest throughput & internal fragmentation (45.6%)
==> Invent the cluster concept!

Disk as Bottleneck
Disk performance is increasing, but still slow!
Even high-performance network is faster than disk
(5 M/ sec HD is slower than 100M bps LAN)
Disk bound jobs
CPU and network must wait

3.4 Introduction to CD-ROM
Introduction to CD-ROM
CD-ROM: Compact Disc Read-Only Memory
Can hold over 600MB(200,000 pages)
Easy to replicate
Useful for publishing or distributing medium
But, not storing and retrieving data
CD-ROM is a child of CD audio
CD audio provides
High storage capacity
Moderate data transfer rate
But, against high seek performance
Poor seek performance

3.4 Introduction to CD-ROM
History of CD-ROM: Videodisc
Videodisc technology developed in late 1960's and early
1970's
The goal was to store movie
A number of methods for storing video signals
1. Use a needle to respond mechanically to grooves in a disc like
a vinyl LP record
2. Use optical storage
Many companies were fighting which approach should become a
standard

3.4 Introduction to CD-ROM
History of CD-ROM: LaserVision
LaserVision
Emerged as the winner of standard battles about standard
Support CLV(Constant Linear Velocity) and CAV(Constant Angular
Velocity) format
Fast seek performance by using CAV format
Data are stored in analog form
Why did they fail?
Earlier disputes over the physical format of the video disc, many
incompatible encoding scheme and error correction techniques
were used by many firms
No standard format the market never grew

3.4 Introduction to CD-ROM
History of CD-ROM: CD-ROM
CD-ROM
Philips and Sony developed CD-ROM in 1984 in order to store music
on a disc
Use a digital data format
The development of CD-ROM as a licensing system results in
widely acceptance in the industry
Promised to provide a standard physical format
Any CD-ROM drive can read any sector which they want
Computer applications store data in a file not in terms of sector, thus,
file system standard should be needed
In late 1985, videodisc/digital data industry moved into CD-ROM
industry
In early summer of 1986, an official standard for organizing files was
worked out

Encoding Scheme of CD-ROM
Encoding scheme
Constraint
The alternating pattern of high- and low-density reflected light is the signal
1 : transition from pit to land and back again
0s : the amount of time between transitions
The limits of the resolution of the optical pickup (generic hardware limit),
there must be at least two 0’s between any pair of 1’s (no two adjacent 1s)
We cannot represent all bit patterns, thus, we need translation scheme
We need at least 14 bits to represent 8 bits under this constraint

3.5 Physical Organization of CD-ROM
Format of CD-ROM
CD audio chose CLV format instead of CAV format
because
CD audio requires large storage space
CD audio is played from the beginning to the end sequentially
Format of CD-ROM
CLV(Constant Linear Velocity)
A single spiral pattern
Same amount of space for each sector
Capability for writing all of sectors at the maximum density
Rotational speed is slower in reading outer edge than in inner edge
Finding the correct speed though trial and error
Characteristics
Poor seek performance
No straightforward way to jump to a specified location
File Structure

38
3.5 Physical Organization of CD-ROM
Constant Angular Velocity Disk
Magnetic disk usually uses CAV(Constant Angular Velocity)
Concentric tracks and pie-shaped sectors
Data density is higher in inner edge than in outer edge
Storage waste: total storage is less than a half of CLV
Spin the disc at the same speed for all positions
Easy to find a specific location on a disk good seek

3.5 Physical Organization of CD-ROM
Addressing of CD-ROM
Addressing
Track density varies thus, each second of playing time on a CD is
divided into 75 sectors
Magnetic disk: cylinder/track/sector approach
CD-ROM: a sector-addressing scheme
75 sectors/sec, 2 Kbytes/sector
At least one-hour of playing time
Maximum capacity can be calculated: 600 Mbytes
60 min * 60 sec/min * 75 sectors/sec = 270,000 sectors
We address a given sector by referring minutes, second, and
sector of play
16:22:34 means 34th sector in the 22nd second in the 16th minutes of play

3.5 Physical Organization of CD-ROM
Fundamental Design of the CD disc
Initially designed for delivering digital audio information
Store audio data in digital form
Wave patterns should be converted into digital form
Measure of the height of the sound: 65,536 different gradation(16 bits)
Sampling rate: 44.1 kHz, because of 2 times of 20,000 Hz upto which
people can listen
16 bits sample, 44,100 times per second, and two channel for stereo
sound, we should store 176,400 bytes per seconds
Storage capacity of CD is 75 sectors per seconds, we have 2,352 bytes
per sector

The most important problem in using CD-ROM as a storage
media
Strongness and weakness of CD-ROM
Strong aspects of CD-ROM
Data transfer rate: 75 sectors/sec
Storage capacity : over 600 Mbytes
Inexpensive to duplicate and durable
Weak aspects of CD-ROM
Poor seek performance (weak random access)
Magnetic disk: 30 msec, CD-ROM : 500 msec
Comparison of access time of a large file from several media
RAM: 20 sec, Disk: 58 days, CD-ROM: 2.5 years
We should have a good file structure avoiding seeks to an even
greater extent that on magnetic disk

3.8 A Journey of a Byte
A Journey of a Byte(2)
Logical layer
1
The program asks the OS to write the contents of the variable c to the
next available position in TEXT.
2
The OS passes the job on to the file manager
3
The file manager looks up TEXT in a table containing information about
it, such as whether the file is open and available for use, what types of
access are allowed, if any, and what physical file the logical name TEXT
corresponds to.
4
The file manager searches a FAT for the physical location of the sector
that is to contain the byte.
5
The file manager makes sure that the last sector in the file has been
stored in a system I/O buffer in RAM, then deposits the ‘P’ into its
proper position in the buffer.
File Structure
SNU-OOPSLA Lab
45
3.8 A Journey of a Byte
A Journey of a Byte(3)
6
The file manager gives instructions to the I/O processor about where
the byte is stored in RAM and where it needs to be sent on the disk
7
The I/O processor finds a time when the drive is available to receive
the data and puts the data in proper format for the disk. It may also
buffer the data to send it out in chunks of the proper size for the disk
8
The I/O processor sends the data to the disk controller.
9
The controller instructs the drive to move the r/w head to the proper
track, waits for the desired sector to come under the r/w head, then
sends the byte to the drive to be deposited, bit-by-bit, on the surface
of the disk.

What is buffer?
Definition - the part of main memory available for storage of
copies of disk blocks

3.9 Buffer Management
Buffer Management
Buffer bottlenecks
What if program performs both input and output on one
character at a time, and only one I/O buffer is available?
At least two buffer - for input and output
I/O bound jobs: wait for I/O completion

3.9 Buffer Management
Buffering Strategies(1): Multiple buffering
Double buffering
swapping roles of two buffers after I/O finished
allows O/S operating on one buffer while the other buffer is
being loaded or emptied
any number of buffers can be used
Buffer pooling
takes from a pool of available buffers
decides which buffer to take from a buffer pool
take buffer by LRU

moving data from one place in RAM to another before they
can be accessed
sometimes, unnecessary data moves

buffer only)
perform I/O directly between secondary storage and program
buffer (program’s data area)
system buffers handle all I/Os, but program uses locations
