I am working on a file server project at HP-Lab's.  We want to develop
a probabilistic model of the low-level I/O use (disk-block request
level) of existing file servers.  A workload synthesiser will be based
on the model.  The model will be verified against trace data taken
here at the lab's.

Can anyone point me to past/current efforts to model low-level file
I/O?  Send info to stata%cello@hplabs.hp.com.
