When I/O workloads don't perform
Every now and then, you find yourself in a situation where you expect better performance from your data storage drives. Either they once performed very well and one day just stopped, or they came straight out of the box underperforming. We explore a few of the reasons why this might happen. -
SMART Devices
Most storage devices have SMART capability, but can it help you predict failure? We look at ways to take advantage of this built-in monitoring technology with the smartctl utility from the Linux smartmontools package.

iSCSI: Set up and use LIO targets
The LIO multiple-protocol SCSI target is perfectly suited for complex test environments, especially because of its support for SCSI standards across the board. -
Linux Storage Stack
Abstraction layers are the alpha and omega in the design of complex architectures. The Linux Storage Stack is an excellent example of well-coordinated layers. Access to storage media is abstracted through a unified interface, without sacrificing functionality. -
