Abstract: Scalability is an important performance issue in mod-ern File System. In this paper, we present our case study where we designed a simple benchmark and measured the performance of create and open opera-tions. In order to explain an interesting result from the case study, we traced into the code and explained what actually leads to that result. Finally we added a new create mode that accelerates the create process a lot.
