Onefs User Guide 6 5 5
Avoid SSDs: Never uses SSDs; writes all associated le data and metadata to HDDs only.
Data on SSDs: Similar to metadata acceleration, but also writes one copy of the le's user data (if mirrored)
or all of the data (if not mirrored) on SSDs. Regardless of whether global namespace acceleration is enabled,
any SSD blocks reside on the le's target pool if there is room. This SSD strategy does not result in the creation
of additional mirrors beyond the normal protection level.
Protection level: Click to select a FlexProtect or data mirroring protection policy for this le or directory. By
default, the le or directory inherits the protection policy that is congured for the specied disk pool.
4. Click Submit.
Modify I/O optimization settings
The OneFS operating system supports SmartCache, which can greatly accelerate the process of writing content to the
cluster. You can apply SmartCache to a single le or directory, or a directory and all of its contents.
Note: If these settings are overridden by SmartPools (as indicated by a notication message), you must navigate
to the SmartPools Settings page in order to modify them.
1. On the File System menu, click File System Explorer.
The File System Explorer interface appears.
2. In the contents pane, under Actions, click the Properties link for the le or directory whose properties you want to
view.
The Properties page appears.
3. In the I/O Optimization Settings section, modify the following settings as needed.
Note: If you are modifying a directory, you can apply each individual setting to the directory's contents by
clicking its associated Apply setting to contents check box.
Settings management: Click to specify whether to manage these settings manually or via SmartPools.
Note: If you change either or both settings for SmartCache or data access, this eld automatically refreshes
to display Manually managed. If you select Managed by SmartPools, the SmartCache and data access
pattern values will refresh to display the applied settings the next time the SmartPools job runs.
SmartCache: Click to specify whether SmartCache is enabled or disabled. This setting is disabled by default.
Note:
SmartCache can accelerate the process of writing content to the cluster. However, writes to the cluster
using SMB will not be affected by SmartCache when write through is specied by the client. Also, writes
to the cluster using NFS will not be affected by SmartCache if they are tagged as stable.
If a node crashes with SmartCache enabled while using NFS, unstable writes that have not been committed
will be temporarily lost on the node. However, the uncommitted data will be sent to the cluster again as
soon as the client reconnects to the cluster, unless the client crashes. As long as the client does not crash
before it reconnects, no data will be lost.
Data access pattern: Click to change the optimization settings for accessing data. Available options include:
Concurrency: Optimizes for concurrent load on the cluster, that is, many simultaneous clients. With the
exception of iSCSI logical units, this is the default setting.
Streaming: Optimizes for high-speed streaming of a single le, for example to enable very fast reading with
a single client.
