If access right allows, then this request is passed to file designation space management unit 330, and file designation space management unit 330 can be in information repository 320, the path content of the server address at the actual place of inquiry file and file.Afterwards, file access administrative unit 340 just according to the address and the path content of above-mentioned file, is carried out accessing operation.At last, file request administrative unit 310 can return execution result to the use side that sends this request by communication network.
In the present embodiment, the data structure of depositing in the information repository 320 comprises server list 400, the superiors' Folder List 430 and file designation space list 460, and respectively shown in Fig. 4 A, 4B and 4C.Please earlier with reference to Fig. 4 A, server list 400 comprises server identification number (Server ID) and server address (Server Address), just write down in the virtual file control system 300, the information of file server, that is file server FS1 and address 192.168.1.1 thereof, file server FS2 and address 192.168 thereof.1.2, file server FS3 and address 192.168.1.3 thereof.
Please refer to Fig. 4 B, the superiors' Folder List 430 comprises Folder Name (Folder Name) and file identifier (Folder ID), just write down in the virtual file control system 300, the content of the superiors' file, that is file home and identifier 0, file video and identifier 100 thereof.
Please refer to Fig. 4 C, file designation space list 460 comprises identifier (ID), title (Name), data type (Data Type), server identification number (Server ID), file content (Folder Content) and file system path (File System Path), just writing down in the virtual file control system 300 all files and the information of file.And in the file designation space list 460, the symbol D in the data type field represents that these data are file (folder), and symbol F represents that these data are file (file).
In addition, still a different data in symbolic representation this document folder in the file content field, and be with above-mentioned data identification number foundation as record, for instance, the file content field at file home occurs 1,2, just represent that also file home still has 2 data, and find file liuken and zhuang, that is in the file home file liuken and zhuang are arranged according to identifier 1,2.
Below, will the flow process of the system configuration foundation of virtual file control system 300 be described.Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B are expressed as the system configuration method for building up process flow diagram of the embodiment of the invention.Please, at first, receive join request (the step S502) of file server earlier with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 A.For example receive the command request of the adding file server of assigning by use side for virtual file control system 300.
Afterwards, check whether virtual file control system 300 has server (step S504).If when checking out virtual file control system 300 without any server, the file server that added of expression is first station server in the virtual file control system 300 for this reason, then set up server list, the superiors' Folder List and file designation space list (step S506), shown in Fig. 4 A-Fig. 4 C.Finish and deposit to information repository 320 when above-mentioned tabulation foundation, file server is added (step S508) in the virtual file control system 300.
If check out when virtual file control system 300 has server, then directly enter step S508, file server is added in the virtual file control system 300.Then, check in the file server that is added whether the file data of existence (step S510) is arranged.If check when finding that server has file data, then file data added (step S512) in the file designation space list.Anti-, if check when finding that server there is no file data, then directly new file server information is added to system configuration after, promptly finish the operation of whole newly-increased file server.
Referring again to Fig. 5 B,, for example be the command request of assigning by use side that removes file server FS3 if virtual file control system 300 receives the request (step S552) that removes file server.
Then, in step S554, with file server FS3 by removing in the virtual file control system 300.Afterwards, the file designation space list is upgraded (step S556), to finish the operation that whole file server removes.In addition, except removing file server FS3, also must will deposit in the file among the file server FS3, by removing in the file designation space list, to avoid the user to enter in the virtual file control system 300, also can see the file of file server FS3, and produce wrong operation.
Next, how to carry out the flow process that the file designation space list is upgraded with further specifying.Fig. 5 C is the detail flowchart of the step S556 of Fig. 5 B.Please refer to Fig. 5 C, at first, read server list (step S582).For instance, suppose that the request that use side sends is the operation that file server FS3 is removed, at this moment, virtual file control system 300 can read server list 400 (Fig. 4 A) from information repository 320, so that carry out the resurfacing operation of system file NameSpace.
Then, in the file designation space list, read the information (step S584) of file.In the present embodiment, the information that reads file is to inspect the content and the path of each file in regular turn, and once only can read the information of a file, and finds out the actual existing address (step S586) of above-mentioned file.
For instance, suppose that with file movie1 be example, the actual existing address of this file movie1 is: file server FS1, server address is 192.168.1.1, and the path of depositing is/home/zhuang/movie1.
Afterwards, check whether the file server of depositing file is removed (step S588).Be removed if check the outfile server, then with file by removing (step S590) in the file designation space list.For instance, read among Fig. 4 C, during the file fiction of identifier 102, find that this file fiction is former to deposit in before this among the file management system FS3, therefore, must be with file fiction by removing in the file designation space list.Afterwards, virtual file control system 300 can judge that whether deleted file is the last batch of data (step S592) in the file designation space list.Yet file fiction is not the last batch of data in the file designation space list 460, gets back among the step S584, to proceed the operation of file designation spatial update, stops for the last batch of data up to file.For instance, virtual file control system 300 continues to carry out the operation of file polling downwards, checks whether deposit in the file of file server FS3 and the record of file in the file designation space list 460 in addition exactly.Afterwards, in identifier 105 and 106, find that respectively file hulk and sherk deposit among the file server FS3, therefore, also must remove file hulk and sherk.
In addition, behind execution of step S586, be not removed, then directly enter step S592, judge that whether above-mentioned file is the last batch of data in the file designation space list if check the outfile server.By this, can finish the renewal of file designation space list 460 operation.
For instance, if read among Fig. 4 C, during the file movie1 of identification code 5, and this file is to deposit in the file server FS1 that is not removed, and then need not remove file movie1.And file movie1 is not the last batch of data in the file designation space, so the renewal in file designation space operation still can proceed, and stops when the file that reads is the last batch of data.
Fig. 6 A is expressed as the process flow diagram of the file access method of one embodiment of the invention.Present embodiment is applicable to virtual file control system 300.Please refer to Fig. 6 A, at first, receive the access request (step S602) of a file.For example virtual file control system 300 is from the file access request of network reception from use side.
Afterwards, in the file designation space list, check whether file exists (step S604).For example with the content in the file path Query Information thesaurus 320.If file when not existing, then sends an error message to use side (step S606), informing that this file access request of user is wrong, and there is no this file in this virtual file control system 300.
In addition, when existing, then obtain the stored position of file (step S608) as if file.For example by the positional information of taking out the actual place of file in the information repository 320.Then, judge whether the position is positioned on the file server of file access request (step S610).That is to say, suppose that the user is connected in the virtual file control system 300 by file server FS1, and when the required file that carries out access also was positioned on the file server FS1, the position of then representing above-mentioned file was to be positioned on the file server of file access request.And if the position of above-mentioned file is to be positioned on the file server FS2, the position of then representing above-mentioned file is not to be positioned on the file server of file access request
Hold above-mentioned, if find that the position is not positioned on the file server of file access request, then, set up file, and file is back to use side (step S614) with reference to message with reference to message (referral response) (step S612) according to the stored position of file.That is to say, when the above-mentioned file that carries out access, file movie2 for example, be when being positioned at file server FS2, then the file system path of depositing in the file designation space list 460 can be established as file with reference to message, to be back to use side, to allow the user learn that this file is not at file server FS1.
In addition, be positioned on the file server of file access request if find the position, then, carry out the file access operation as described in the step S616, and the result with this accessing operation is back to use side (step S618) again, so that allow the user learn this file access success.
The foregoing description is the treatment scheme with the access request that receives the file that use side was sent.Below, other is lifted an example illustrate by use side and send file access processing of request flow process.Fig. 6 B is expressed as the process flow diagram of the file access method of another embodiment of the present invention.Please refer to Fig. 6 B, at first, in step S652, the user can send a file access request in use side.Afterwards, then carry out step S654-S670, so that carry out the operation of file access, and the step S602-S618 of step S654-S670 and Fig. 6 A is same or similar, so do not repeat them here.Then, in step S672, just behind use side receiving step S658, S666 and S670 one result wherein, check whether access success of file.If check result is a "Yes", that is use side receives the execution result of step S670, and then as described in the step S674, use side can obtain the file access success message.
Change speech, if check result is a "No", that is the received execution result of use side is the execution result of step S658 and S666.So, in step S676, judged whether that file is with reference to message.That is to say that use side can be judged the execution result of step S658 and S666.If judged result is "No", that is use side receives the execution result of step S658, and then as described in the step S678, use side can obtain the error message of file access.
Change speech, if judged result is a "Yes", that is use side receives the execution result of step S666, then carries out among the step S680, and use side can produce the access request of a file again.That is to say, with reference to the information in the message, send a correct file access request, so that file is carried out the operation of access according to file.
Afterwards, return step S652, the access request of this file is sent once more, to reach the request of correctly file being carried out access.For instance, suppose that the user is connected to file server FS1 by communication network, at this moment, if the request of being sent by use side is: when file movie2 is carried out the operation of access, then, can check that outfile movie2 deposits in the memory storage of file server FS1 in proceeding to step S662.Therefore, virtual file control system 300 can produce file movie2 and deposit in file server FS2, and the file of path/home/zhuang/movie of file movie2 with reference to message to use side, so that allow the user resend the request of accessing file movie2, and be connected among the file server FS2, file movie2 is carried out the operation of access.
Next, will be discussed in the file designation space list 460, check the flow process whether file exists.Fig. 7 is expressed as the detail flowchart of the step S604 of Fig. 6 A.Please refer to Fig. 7, at first, the path of the file of inquiry file (step S702).For example virtual file control system 300 can inquire about to information repository 320 by file designation space management unit 330, just enter inquire above-mentioned file in the file designation space list 460 deposit path and address.
Afterwards, checking whether the path of file exists (step S704), for example is that above-mentioned file path is confirmed, so that learn that this file is whether in file designation space list 460.Do not exist if check the path of outfile folder, then send the non-existent message of a file (step S706), just represent that the file of above-mentioned file access request does not exist yet.
In addition, exist, then take out the file content (step S708) in the file if check the path of outfile folder.Then, check whether above-mentioned file is undermost file (step S710).If when check finding that file is undermost file, then enter step S608, to obtain the stored position of above-mentioned file as Fig. 6 A.
If check and find that file is not undermost file, then get back to step S702, with the operation of proceeding to inquire about.
For instance, the employed inquiry mode of present embodiment is to carry out in the mode of hierarchy type, that is to say, when file access request that use side sent is accessing file movie1, the folder path of the first inquiry file movie1 of virtual file control system 300 meetings also is/home/zhuang/movie1.But, virtual file control system 300 can confirm earlier that whether file home exists, if there is the content that then obtains file home, also is file zhuang.Then, judge again whether file home is undermost file, hence one can see that, and file home is not undermost file, therefore the operation that can inquire about file zhuang again, up to finding file movie1 to stop, the file movie1 that is sent the file access request with the expression use side exists really.
In sum, the present invention carries out the unified configuration and management of storage space, to promote the storage space service efficiency effectively by setting up the data structure that server list, the superiors' Folder List and file designation space list are formed.In addition, the present invention allows the user by single access interface, and the data on many network storage devices of access so, can reach the effect of simplifying the operation of user's accessing file.In addition, the present invention can directly expand its storage space under the state that does not need to shut down; and also the file access load can be dispersed on many different servers; avoid the load of single file server overweight, therefore, can alleviate the management document load of server effectively.
Though the present invention with preferred embodiment openly as above, so it is not in order to limit the present invention.Those of ordinary skill under any in the technical field under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can carry out various changes and modification.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion with the scope of the claim that proposed.
