ABSTRACT:: Robotic storage devices offer huge storage
capacity at a low cost per byte, but with large access
times. Integrating these devices into the storage
hierarchy presents a challenge to file system designers.
Log-structured file systems (LFSs) were developed to
reduce latencies involved in accessing disk devices, 
but their sequential write patterns match well with 
tertiary storage characteristics. Unfortunately, 
existing versions only manage memory caches and
disks, and do not support a broader storage hierarchy.
