Abstract

This report is the result of knowledge gained in designing and implementing software for RAID-I (RAID the First), a prototype RAID level 5 system designed and built at the University of California at Berkeley. RAID-I is currently fully operational and should soon be available as a network file server. The main purpose of RAID-I is to prototype RAID specific software, gain experience with SCSI, and foresee performance bottlenecks in the implementation of more advanced RAID systems currently being at Berkeley. The following assumes that the reader is familiar with RAID [3, 7, 8] systems.
