i am not aware of filesystem-specific features for streaming data, but at the lower level, the drivers yes: ./infiniband/hw/cxgb3/iwch_cm.c: ./media/common/saa7146_vbi.c: ./media/video/cafe_ccic.c: ./media/video/gspca/ov534.c: ./scsi/NCR_Q720.c: ./usb/gadget/inode.c: but if u google further, there are filesystem which are implemented for streaming data eg, OMFS. but i don't these FS perform remarkably better than traditional filesystem. except perhaps if u are google (which i don't know is using what filesystem for google video, but the Google Filesystem - GFS - for its search engine, is NOT even a kernel implementation, but a userspace filesystem) and even so, FS is not really an important factor, but others like storage architecture and network delivery (CDN): http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html http://highscalability.com/google-architecture But amazingly, there is something called Youtubefs: http://code.google.com/p/youtubefs/ http://www.slideshare.net/mclee/beyond-the-file-system-designing-large-scale-file-storage-and-serving for google video, it is not really the filesystem that matters, but more on the infrastructure like network (CDN and Akamai etc): http://kylecordes.com/2007/07/12/youtube-scalability/ Check out memcached used by Youtube as well: http://www.danga.com/memcached/ On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Sharanagouda Biradar <sharanrbiradar@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > hi everyone > can anyone please let me know how a file system handels a streaming data ? > as i am not getting any information on google . > references to good websites or links are appreciated > -- > regards > sharan -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
