Description

A kind of method and system framework that utilizes file allocation table to carry out the file tracking
Technical field
The present invention relates to the disk management technology of computing machine, particularly relate to a kind of method and system framework that utilizes file allocation table to carry out the file tracking.
Background technology
FAT (file allocation table, file allocation table) is the file system of a kind of hyperdisk data space of Microsoft's definition, be created in the beginning of the eighties at the end of the seventies, originally be used for MS-DOS operation system, design FAT originally and only positioned it as a kind of simple file system, only be suitable for floppy disk management, and the memory range of 1M only of floppy disk at that time.Continuous development along with new technology, it is big that disk storage space constantly becomes, initial FAT design can not be satisfied, so Microsoft is spread F AT on original basis, be our the now common FAT12 that arrives, FAT16, FAT32, these three kinds of file system have satisfied the space management of different memory space ranges substantially.
A continuous blank data area can be thought by the data in magnetic disk district of a blank, and the user can directly read and write data on the data field.And the FAT file system has been done some definition planning exactly on this blank disc space, convenient use to disk space.Defined after the FAT, all forbid the user the direct read of disk space, and are only open to FAT, and the user realizes by the interface of FAT definition the operation of disk, for example open file, reading and writing of files, close file etc.
From in logic, the logical organization of FAT comprises following 4 levels:
1) parameter region and some reserved areas
2) FAT table
3) directory area (FAT12, FAT16 are effective, do not have among the FAT32)
4) data field
The logical organization of four levels as shown in Figure 1, the parameter setting that the map parameter district whole FAT of essential record system is relevant, for example: cluster (bunch) several block (piece) are arranged, what block a FAT table has constitute, and what FAT are a system have show formation or the like.The recording parameters part is placed among the block usually, may have several reservation block in addition as other purposes.Wherein, block is the base unit to the disk read-write operation of FAT regulation, is 512 bytes, the notion that FAT has defined bunch on the basis of block, one bunch can comprise one or more block, informs in parameter region as for specifically comprising several meetings, and block is the least unit of read-write disk.
As shown in Figure 1, the FAT epi-position is in following one deck of parameter region.The FAT file system shows to manage the whole magnetic disk space by FAT, base unit is 12 bit (bit) in the FAT table, 16 bit or 32 bit, so-called FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 promptly come therefrom, corresponding one bunch of this base unit, it is one bunch that a corresponding data of basic list item (data) distinguishes in the FAT table, just be not difficult to understand how hyperdisk space of FAT thus, in brief, exactly disk is divided into data field and mark zone, the FAT table is exactly the place of marking, i.e. a mark zone frankly speaking.How is this mark used so? in fact FAT is by single-track link table structure of FAT table structure, with regard to each FAT list item, it can contain two information, and the one, which list item it is, be the index value of FAT list item, this simply is exactly the number of starting from scratch; The 2nd, the data of storing in the list item, the FAT system is the index value of next FAT list item with the value defined of these data.So just formed an individual event chained list, the value of the FAT of chained list end list item is zero, and Fig. 2 is the exemplary plot of a FAT table.
By the FAT standard as can be known, the content that FAT shows in each list item is the index value of next FAT list item, because the index value of list item representative is this list item at the deposit position of the correspondence of data field bunch, therefore FAT show in each list item the content representative be: this list item is at the deposit position of the next one of the correspondence of data field bunch bunch, thereby form an individual event chained list by FAT table every, be used for the deposit position of tab file or catalogue.
Because the limitation of FAT file system (the FAT table is an individual event chained list), file seek among the FAT is at every turn always from file header (FAT table first), search for one by one up to the pairing list item of the file that finds seek according to the individual event chained list, if first hypertelorism of pairing list item of the file of seek and FAT table, will cause the side-play amount of seek excessive, it is just consuming time very long only to locate the FAT chained list, so existing seek method is still very incomplete.
And the function items that the seek right and wrong of file are usually seen, the height of its performance directly influences the performance of file read-write, for example audio frequency and video are asked in the playing process of part, frequently the seek file is so that obtain data, if seek efficient is underground, add the system processor performance and do not do, not smooth with regard to what cause easily playing, so need to propose a kind of high efficiency seek method, to solve the problem of the seek inefficiency that existing FAT table brings because of the limitation of individual event chained list.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method and system framework that utilizes file allocation table to carry out the file tracking, solve the limitation of existing FAT table, solve and adopt existing FAT table seek long technical matters of file time spent because of only having for the individual event chained list.

Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, describe the present invention below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
Existing scheme is that two FAT epiphases are same, and seek must be initial from file, and the present invention will improve seek exactly, to realize file seek rapidly and efficiently.
In the FAT standard, the purpose that defines two identical FAT tables is in order to do backup to guarantee safety.Why like this, be the security that will guarantee the FAT table, in case first FAT table is damaged, can repair with second FAT table.Actual conditions show that second FAT table generally has little significance, and FAT itself does not have power-off protection mechanism, so in case the outage of physical property is even preserve two FAT tables, also of no avail.Therefore the present invention redefines second FAT table, has realized doubly linked list, can be from optional position seek, and added buffer queue, quicken seek.
The method of utilizing file allocation table to carry out the file tracking provided by the present invention, it is the system architecture that is used to include first file allocation table and second file allocation table, the representative of the index value of each list item of described first file allocation table and second file allocation table be this list item at the deposit position of the correspondence in data in magnetic disk district bunch, the list item value of storing in each list item of described first file allocation table is the index value of next list item, afterwards, the inventive method has been carried out following 2 main improvement:
Main improvement one: the list item value of storing in each list item with second file allocation table is set at the index value of a last list item, thereby described second file allocation table and described first file allocation table form doubly linked list, utilize described doubly linked list to carry out the file tracking.
Main improvement two: utilize cache memories store file tracking result's record, make follow-up file tracking carry out Search and Orientation by described record and described doubly linked list.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart of steps of method provided by the invention, and as figure, the detailed step of the inventive method is as follows:
Step 301, definition FAT table 2 (second file allocation table) is realized the doubly linked list structure that FAT shows;
Step 302 defines cache (cache memory), is used to store the historical record of seek;
Step 303 begins once new seek;
Step 304 judges that whether cache is empty, is execution in step 305 then, otherwise execution in step 306;
Step 305, cache is empty, then can only begin brand-new seek from file header, the seek execution in step 311 that finishes;
Step 306, cache is not empty, then can find a closest approach from historical record point;
Does step 307 judge that closest approach is before this seek? be execution in step 308 then, otherwise execution in step 309;
Step 308, this historical record point were then finished this seek by FAT table 1 sequential index before this seek, change step 310;
Step 309, historical record point are finished this seek by the reverse index of FAT table 2 after this seek position;
Step 310 judges whether cache is full, is execution in step 312 then, otherwise execution in step 311;
Step 311, seek finishes and deposits this seek result in cache, and this seek finishes.
Step 312, cache is full, adopts certain algorithm to replace some seek records among the cache, for example replaces and the nearest record value (specific algorithm can be chosen by the user) in this seek position.
As from the foregoing, the present invention realizes that by the method for " redefining second FAT table " and " increasing cache " seek optimizes, and compared with the prior art, the present invention has following advantage:
1) because the limitation of prior art FAT file system (the FAT table is an individual event chained list), file seek among the FAT is at every turn always from file header, if the side-play amount of seek is excessive, it is just consuming time very long only to locate the FAT chained list, promptly for read one " data field " and block, the block that will read earlier in n " FAT table " is used for the location, so existing seek method can be very consuming time.
2) well-known, two FAT tables are arranged in the FAT file system usually, and actual conditions show second FAT justice and not obvious of expressing the meaning.The position of list item value representation next cluster pointed in the FAT table 1, the present invention defines the position of FAT table 2 a list item value representation last cluster pointed, like this by revising the definition of FAT table 2, the present invention has realized the doubly linked list structure in the FAT table, changed the limitation of traditional individual event list structure.
3) increase the cache module, in the application process of reality, seek to file is clocklike, often the position of a seek is always at the periphery of last once seek position, exception is also arranged certainly, so note the seek position of limited number of times, the position of seek is necessary for locating next time.And the present invention has redefined the meaning of FAT table 2, realized doubly linked list, promptly a seek can seek from cache from own recent historical record, from the FAT table, locate this seek position again based on this historical record, like this, seek method with respect to traditional has the improvement of matter.
4) in embedded chip in the multimedia broadcast, through the seek of regular meeting audio-video document, the scheme that the present invention carried with file seek consuming time drop to minimum, for guaranteeing multimedia smooth playing establish a firm foundation.
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
