Dynamic Disk Space Management is a set of strategies for allocating files to disk storage devices so as to reduce seek time, device contention, and storage fragmentation.In this paper, the impact on system throughput and user response time is projected, via simulation model results, for a small general-purpose operating system which manages large capacity disk drives.
