Abstract :
We present the design of a log-structured tertiary storage (LTS) system. The advantage of this approach is that it allows the system to hide the details of jukebox robotics and media characteristics behind a uniform, random-access, block-oriented interface. It also allows the system to avoid media mount operations for writes, giving a write performance similar to that of secondary storage
