    • A fault-tolerant high performance mirrored disk subsystem is described which has an improved disk writing scheme that provides high throughput for random disk writes and at the same time guarantees high performance for disk reads. The subsystem also has an improved recovery mechanism which provides fast recovery in the event that one of the mirrored disks fails and during such recovery provides the same performance as during non-recovery periods.Data blocks or pages which are to be written to disk are temporarily accumulated and sorted (or scheduled) into an order (or schedule) which can be written to disk efficiently, which in a preferred embodiment is in accordance with the physical location on disk at which each such block will be written. This also generally corresponds to an order which is encountered by a writ head during a physical scan of a disk. The disks of a mirrored pair are operated out of phase with each other, so that one will be in read mode while the other is in write mode. Updated blocks are written out to the disk that is in write mode in sorted order, while guaranteed read performance is provided by the other disk that is in read mode. When a batch of updates has been applied to one disk of a mirrored pair, the mirrored pair switch their modes, and the other disk is updated. Preferably the updates are kept in a non-volatile memory, which furthermore advantageously may be made fault-tolerant as well.During recovery a pair of spare alternating mirrored disks is introduced to which new updates are directed, while a background scan process copies data from the surviving disk to the new mirrored pair.
    • 描述了容错的高性能镜像磁盘子系统,其具有改进的磁盘写入方案,其为随机磁盘写入提供高吞吐量,并且同时保证磁盘读取的高性能。 该子系统还具有改进的恢复机制,在其中一个镜像磁盘发生故障并且在此类恢复期间提供与非恢复期间相同的性能的情况下,可提供快速恢复。 要写入磁盘的数据块或页面被临时累积并排序(或调度)成可以有效地写入磁盘的顺序(或时间表),在优选实施例中,这些块或页面与盘上的物理位置相符 每个这样的块将被写入。 这也通常对应于在盘的物理扫描期间由写入头遇到的顺序。 镜像对的磁盘彼此相位操作,因此一个磁盘将处于读取模式,而另一个处于写入模式。 已更新的块以排序顺序写入处于写入模式的磁盘,而保证的读取性能由处于读取模式的另一个磁盘提供。 当一批更新已应用于镜像对的一个磁盘时,镜像对会切换其模式,而另一个磁盘已更新。 优选地,更新被保存在非易失性存储器中,这进一步有利地也可以是容错的。 在恢复期间,引入了一对备用交替镜像磁盘,新的更新被引导到其上,而后台扫描过程将数据从幸存磁盘复制到新的镜像对。
