[Disksim-users] Data layout and control flow in disksim

[Lakshmi Ganesh]

Hi,

I'm trying to simulate a log-structured storage system using disksim. 
Could you give me pointers on how to go about this? I couldn't find 
implementation details about the layout module anywhere (yes, I realize 
that the code *is* the documentation sometimes :-) ). Some things that I 
want to find out:
1. How do I set the size of a block?
2. How do I alter the lbn-to-pbn mapping?

It would also be really helpful if someone could take me through the 
steps of how a single read or write access is processed by disksim. I've 
step-ed my way through several runs to try to understand the control 
flow, but I'm still hazy on the big picture.

Thank you!
