Abstract
An exemplary computer-implemented method for creating dataless file systems that may be used to accurately test the performance and/or scalability of software systems may include creating a dataless storage system that: 1) fulfills I/O requests that are directed to software system metadata but 2) ignores I/O requests that are not directed to software system metadata (such as I/O requests directed to user data). The method may also include testing at least one aspect of a software system using the dataless storage system. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
