Abstract

See full text

The decision to prefetch inodes is based upon the detecting of access patterns that would benefit from such a prefetch. Once the decision to prefetch is made, a plurality of inodes are prefetched in parallel. Further, the prefetching of inodes is paced, such that the prefetching substantially matches the speed at which an application requests inodes.
