Running the warm replicas experiment from the paper

[mihir-b-shah]

Hello,

I was interested in replicating the reserve replica experiment ("LevelDB random read latencies with reserve replica") from the Assise paper, I was wondering if there are any specific directions I should follow for setting up reserve replicas?

Related questions I had:

1. Do I need to set the MLFS_REPLICA flag (or rather, unset the -DMASTER) on the reserve replica KernFS?
2. Do I need SSD's to setup reserve replicas? Would I set the USE_SSD flag, and the SSD_READ_REDIRECT flag? In addition, in the mkfs.sh script, instead of mkfs.mlfs 1, would I do mkfs.mlfs 2?

Thank you!
