• [$] Flexible data placement

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat May 3 06:40:08 2025
    At
    the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory
    Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) Kanchan Joshi and Keith Busch led a combined storage and filesystem session on data placement, which concerns
    how the data on a storage device is actually written. In a discussion
    that hearkened back to previous summits, the idea is to give hints to enterprise-class
    SSDs to help them make better choices on where the data should go; hinting
    was most recently discussed at the summit in 2023. If SSDs can
    group data with similar lifetimes together, it can lead to longer life for
    the devices, but there is a need to work out the details.
