摘要: Sophisticated disk scheduling algorithms require accurate, detailed drive specifications, including data about mechanical delays, on-board caching and prefetching algorithms, command protocol overheads, logical-to-physical block mappings. Comprehensive models used in storage subsystem design similar levels of detail. We describe a suite general-purpose techniques for acquiring the necessary information from SCSI drive. Using only ANSI-standard interface, we demonstrate how important parameter values modern can be determined accurately efficiently.
