Abstract
A storage subsystem can achieve more efficient I/O processing by enabling users to specify and pass out of band I/O hints comprising an object to be hinted, a hint type, and caching strategies associated with a hint type. A hinted object may be either a virtual device or a file. In addition to priority cache, hint types may include never-cache, sticky-cache, and volatile-cache. Hints may be passed via command-line or graphical-user interfaces.
