Traditional Linux file system such as ext2 performs poorly if large numbers of small files exist.This is due to the linear search algorithm of the file system.This paper implements SmallFS to solve this problem.SmallFS is one kind of storage optimization.It optimizes the search algorithm to greatly improve the performance.SmallFS is based on the stackable file system technique,so it has good compatibility and is transparent to users.
