Everything about Log-structured file system
Structure of file system that writes all information to a circular buffer
A log-structured filesystem is a file system in which data and metadata are written sequentially to a circular buffer, called a log. The design was first proposed by John K. Ousterhout and Fred Douglis in 1988 and first implemented in 1992 by Ousterhout and Mendel Rosenblum for the Unix-like Sprite distributed operating system. Wikipedia →
