Abstract
We have proposed a distributed storage system which aims to utilize storage fragments distributed in network nodes without administrators' maintenance cost. Even the performance of storage devices are not uniform, autonomously data block migration helps to achieve enhancing the whole I/O performance of the storage system. However, we have considered all the storage devices to be reliable equally. On this assumption, migration of an important data block to unstable storage might cause degradation of the availability of the data block. In this paper, we propose a scheme to choose the destination of data block migration by evaluating the nodes' reliability along with the performance of storage devices. This scheme aims to improve system stability by preventing to locate a critical data onto an unstable storage device. The storage nodes which lack stability are also utilized for storing a data block which can be easily regenerated or duplicated. The results of the preliminary investigation show that a large number of warning logs from Machine Check Architecture may suggest a sign of unexpected system shutdown.
