Exploring long-term tape-storage solutions
Teodor Ivanoaica, M. Ciubancan, Mihai Barbulescu, Alexandra Nicolin · 2017
We report a series of preliminary results on the efficiency of tape-storage solutions that are relevant for large-scale experimental facilities such as the Nuclear Physics pillar of the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI-NP). Our investigations are focused on the efficiency of tape data access scenarios, in particular a comparison between the Linear Tape File System and native Linux tools, and the influence of data properties on reading efficiency.
