Dynamic File Allocation in Disk Arrays
Summary: Dynamic data placement in declustered disk arrays with on-the-fly file creation, not static startup. Proposes heuristics using current allocation state and disk load to balance I/O gains with partial reorganization costs; shows synthetic-workload results. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
