Semautofs: Semantically-aware Automouting User-space File System

We are trying to investiage the application of an auto-mounted user-based file system to increase semantic awareness of the system. In this file system each user written program would act as a file system on its own that mount on demand when the file is accessed. A system like this could allow us to symbolically represent files mutated by programs, decreasing repeat data, increasing asynchrony (e.g. lazy evaluation). Click here to know more about it.

[June 2009 - August 2008]
Optimized initialization of ZVOLs as a dump device. Optimiation techniques included saving unnecessary I/Os to disks, by passing ARC cache buffers and some minor code optimizations. Initilization time was improved by 87% along with 68% memory optimization. .
