Title:
METADATA STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR DEALING WITH THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3926857
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a file system for storing both data and metadata in a disk as the group of flows.
CONSTITUTION: A file system 26 stores data and metadata in a similar configuration. The lowest level of file data stored in a disk 16 is a flow constituting logically adjacent byte groups. The related flows seen in a file, directory, or sub-directory are stored in a node data structure in a variable size. The node data structure in the variable size is stored in the array of the fixed size packet of a disk space. The related node data structure is stored in a catalog data structure. The catalog data structure is stored in the array of the fixed size packet of a disk space. Next, the packet array of the fixed size packet of the disk space is stored as the flows.
