Disk Scheduling and RAID Disk scheduling is handled by operating systems for scheduling of input/output request for the disk in order to improve overall system performance. This is necessary because, for over four decades now, the increase in the speed of processor and main memory is incomparable with that of the disk. Apart from speed, disk storage space is another important factor in determining the level of performance of a system. Insufficient disk space can serve a bottleneck for system performance even when other resources are at high speeds. This have given rise to development of arrays of disks that operate independently and in parallel. Question List and briefly define the different levels of schemes through which the OS views a set of physical disk drives as a single logical drive.

Parallel and Distributed Storage

A parallel storage file system is a sort of clustered file system. A clustered file system is a storage system shared by multiple devices simultaneously.
