 ABSTRACT
ZFS (Zettabyte FileSystem) is a file system designed by Sun
Microsystems for the Solaris Operating System. ZFS is a 128-bit
file system, so it can address 18 billion billion times more data
than the 64-bit systems ZFS is implemented as open-source
filesystem, licensed under the Common Development and
Distribution License (CDDL).
 INTRODUCTION
Anyone who has ever lost important files, run out of space on a
partition, spent weekends adding new storage to servers, tried to
grow or shrink a file system, or experienced data corruption knows
that there is room for improvement in file systems and volume
managers. Solaris ZFS is designed from the ground up to meet the
emerging needs of a general purpose local file system that spans the
desktop to the data center. Solaris ZFS offers a dramatic advance in
data management with an innovative approach to data integrity, near
zero administration, and a welcome integration of file system and
volume management capabilities
 EXISTING SYSTEM
• Since traditional file systems are constrained to the
size of the disk, so growing file systems and volume
is difficult.
• With traditional volumes, storage is fragmented and
stranded. Hence storage utilization is poor.
• Partitions/volumes exist in traditional file Systems.
• Each file system has limited I/O bandwidth.

• Checksums are stored in data block.

• Examples : NTFS, exFAT, FAT32.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM
• With ZFS’s common storage pool, there are no partitions to
manage.

• File systems share all available storage in the pool, thereby

leading to excellent storage utilization.

• Size of zpools can be increased easily by adding new devices

to the pool.

• Checksums are stored in parent block.

• File systems sharing available storage in a pool, grow and
shrink automatically as users add/remove data.

• The combined I/O bandwidth of all the devices in the storage

pool is always available to each file system.

• It is a open source file system.

ZPOOL

• ZFS File systems are built on top

of virtual storage pools called
ZPOOLS
• They are constructed by combining
block devices using either
mirroring or RAID-Z.
Traditional File System vs ZFS
 COMPARISION
Traditional Volumes
Partitions/volumes exist in traditional file
Systems.
With traditional volumes, storage is
fragmented and stranded. Hence storage
utilization is poor.
Since traditional file systems are
constrained to the size of thedisk, so
growing file systems and volume is
difficult.
ZFS Pooled Storage
With ZFS’s common storage pool, there
are
no partitions to manage.
File systems share all available storage in
the pool, thereby leading to excellent
storage utilization.
Size of zpools can be increased easily by
adding new devices to the pool. Moreover
file systems sharing available storage in a
pool, grow and shrink automatically
as users add/remove data.
 ZFS DESIGN PRINCIPLES
• Started with new design around today’s requirements.

• Pooled storage.

• End-to-End data integrity.

• Transactional Operation.

• 128-bit virtual block address.

STORAGE MODEL
 STORAGE POOL ALLOCATOR
• Allocates block from all devices in a storage pool
• SPA presents itself as interface to allocate and free virtually
addressed blocks
• DVA ( Data Virtual Addresses)
• DVA allows dynamic addition and removal of devices
from storage pool
• SPA also simplifies administration
• Uses 128-bit block addresses, so each storage pool can address
up to 256 quadrillion blocks
 ZFS POSIX LAYER
• ZPL makes DMU objects as like POSIX file systems
• Implements as like POSIX acts
• As transaction continues so no inconsistency is present
on disk state
• No need to use mkfs command to create file systems
• Consist of logs due to which tracks of record is kept
• The intent log can log either to disk or to NVRAM.
 STRIPING AND MIRRORING
Mirroring Striping
•The easiest way to gethigh availability • Higher performance
•Half the size • Distributed acrossdisks
•Higher read performance • Work in parallel

TRADITIONAL MIRRORING
SELF HEALING DATA IN ZFS
 APPLICATIONS
• Sun SOLARIS OS.

• Available on SPARC and X86.

• Apple to interested to port in MAC OS.
• Linux too will have it in nearby future.
• Porting to Free BSD is in progress
 ADVANTAGES
• Simplified administration.

• Pooled storage.

• Data integrity.

• Error detection and correction.

• Volume Management is a Thing of the Past.

• The Future Proof File System

 DRAWBACKS
• ZFS is still not yet widely used.

• ZFS is slow when it comes to external USB drivers.

• High power consumption.

• High CPU usage.

• Applied to important data only as it is expensive.

• Lacks transparent encryption.

 CONCLUSION
• Easy and automated manageability.
• Data security and integrity.

• Virtually unlimited scalability.

• Services for demanding applications today and well into

future.

• ZFS sets an entirely new standard for data integrity, capacity,

and ease of administration in file systems.
