A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Support for Application IO Hints Author(s) : Dean Hildebrand Mike Eisler Trond Myklebust Sam Falkner Filename : draft-hildebrand-nfsv4-ioadvise-02.txt Pages : 16 Date : 2011-10-11 This document proposes a new IO_ADVISE operation for NFSv4.2 that clients can use to communicate expected I/O behavior to the server. By communicating future I/O behavior such as whether a file will be accessed sequentially or randomly, and whether a file will or will not be accessed in the near future, servers can optimize future I/O requests for a file by, for example, prefetching or evicting data. This operation can be used to support the posix_fadvise function as well as other applications such as databases and video editors.
