| Popis: | Storage devices have been getting more and more diverse during the last decade. The advent of SSDs made it painfully clear that rotating devices, such as HDDs or magnetic tapes, were lacking in regards to response time. However, SSDs currently have a limited number of write cycles and a significantly larger price per capacity, which has prevented rotational technologies from begin abandoned. Additionally, Non-Volatile Memories (NVMs) have been lately gaining traction, offering devices that typically outperform NAND-based SSDs but exhibit a full new set of idiosyncrasies. Therefore, in order to appropriately support this diversity, intelligent mechanisms will be needed in the near-future to balance the benefits and drawbacks of each storage technology available to a system. In this paper, we present a first step towards such a mechanism called HetFS, an extension to the ZFS file system that is capable of choosing the storage device a file should be kept in according to preprogrammed filters. We introduce the prototype and show some preliminary results of the effects obtained when placing specific files into different devices. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community under the BIGStorage ETN (Project 642963 of the H2020-MSCA-ITN-2014), by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under the TIN2015-65316 grant and by the Catalan Government under the 2014-SGR- 1051 grant.
