Abstract: File-backed virtual disk storage is one of the most important parts of virtualization. In order to enhance the efficiency of virtual disk I/O,this paper researched the file-backed disk virtualization on Xen,analysed using asynchronous I/O method to improve I/O rate,and compared the pros and cons of using different format of virtual disk files as storage device of virtual machines.

Key words: storage virtualization, virtual disk image, Xen
