How to store skip lists on disk?

How do you store a skip list on disk?

  • How do you arrange the nodes to take advantage of file system pages?
  • Do you use a file for each page, one file for everything, or something else?
  • The linked question mentions disk pointers - how do they help?

After posting this on the Database Administrators stackexchange site I realized that it's more of an algorithm question and less of a database administration question, so I moved it over here.

Also, the community seems to think that this is a bad question, although it asks basically the same thing. This question is more direct.
