These results are the consequences of our design decisions that favored ease of development and portability over performance. RFS was written in just a few person-weeks. We plan to extend the file system to provide full support for both read and write, as well as prefetching, hoarding, and disconnected operation with lease-based concurrency control and server callbacks. We expect to address many of the issues raised by the Coda file system and others, while further tuning RFS performance. The Rover File System will provide the final component of a complete development environment.
Times are in seconds.
