A Fast File System for UNIX (1984) [444 citations — 5 self]

Abstract:

This paper describes the changes from the original 512-byte UNIX file system to file the new system released with the 4.2 Berkeley Software Distribution. It presents the motivations for the changes, the methods used to effect these changes, the rationale behind the design decisions, and a description of the new implementation. This discussion is followed by a summary of the results that have been obtained, directions for future work, and the additions and changes that have been made to the facilities that are available to programmers
