The ANSI Object-based Storage Device (OSD) standard
is a major step toward enabling explicit applicationawareness
in storage systems behind a standard, fullyinteroperable
interface [3]. In this paper, we explore a particular
flavor of application-awareness, that of database applications.
We describe the design and implementation of
a database-aware storage system that uses the OSD interface
not only as a means to access data, but also to permit
explicit communication between the application and
the storage system. This communication is significant, as it
enables our storage system to transparently optimize data
placement and request scheduling. We demonstrate that
OSD makes it practical to improve storage performance in
these ways without exposing proprietary disk drive parameters
to application code, and without labor-intensive, fragile
parameter measurement.
