To increase capacity, hard disk drive (HDD) vendors are introducing Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology. 2004) was a user-space file system called the Extent and B-Tree based object file system. But let’s take a quick look at the changing hardware landscape before we go on… The changing hardware landscape.

Screenshot: tracing read latency for PID 181: # bpftrace -e 'kprobe:vfs_read /pid == 30153/ { @start[tid] = nsecs; } kretprobe:vfs_read /@start[tid]/ { @ns = hist(nsecs - @start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]); }'. in 2004, so I have to think back to that time to understand it. It's shaping up to be a DTrace version 2.0: I wrote seeksize.d

Dynamo might have been the best technology in the world at the time but it was still software you had to run yourself.
