几种文件系统的含义及历史 UFS " UNIX file system based on the BSD Fast File system is the default disk-based file system for the Solaris Operating environment.
?HSFS " High Sierra, Rock Ridge, and ISO 9660 file system. Solaris HSFS is used on CD-ROMs, and provide all UFS file system features and file types
?PCFS " PC file system, which allows read/ write access to data and programs on DOS-formatted disks written for DOS-based personalcomputers.
?UDF " The UDF file system, the industry-standard format for storing information on the optical media technology called DVD (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc).
Network-Based File Systems ?Network-based file systems can be accessed over the network. NFS is the only available network-based or distributed computing file system.
" Virtual File Systems ?Virtual file systems are memory-based file systems that provide access to special kernel information and facilities. " The Cache File System
?The Cache File System (CacheFS) can be used to improve performance of remote file systems or slow devices sUCh as CD-ROM drives. When a file system is cached, the data read from the remote file system or CD- ROM is stored in a cache on the local system.
" The Temporary File System ?The Temporary File System (TMPFS) uses local memory for file system reads and writes, which is typically much faster than a UFS file system. ?TMPFS use the swap space on a disk.
The Process File System ?The Process File System (PROCFS) resides in memory. It contains a list of active processes, by process number, in the /proc directory.
" The Loopback File System ?The Loopback File System (LOFS) lets you create a new virtual file system, so you can access files by using an alternative path name.
磁盘基本概念 Lable( VTOC) ?Volume Table of Content, No. 1 disk sector( 512B)
" Boot block ?Stores the procedures used in booting the system ?The boot block is left blank if a file system not to be used for booting ?In the next 15 disk sectors
" Superblock ?Detailed information ablout the file system ?Size and status of file system ?Date and time of the last update ?Cylinder group size ?Number of date blocks in cylinder group ?Path name and last mount point ?In the next 16 disk sectors
Inode ?All information about a file except its name which is kept in a directory ?An inode is 128 byte " Type of the file ( File/ Directory/ Block special/ Character special/ Symbolic link/ pipe/ Socket) " The mode of the file( read-write-execute permissions)
读磁盘的 VTOC 信息
# prtvtoc /dev/ rdsk/ c1t3d0s2
PROM的概念 " PROM ?Each Sun system has a boot PROM chip. This 8KB chip is typically located on the same board as the CPU ?The main functions of the boot PROM are to test the system hardware and boot the operating system " Number of hard link " User ID and group ID " Number of bytes of the file " An array of 15 data block address " The date and time of the file
" Data block ?The rest of the space allocated to the file system ?By default, 8-KB block size, 1- KB fragment size
NVRAM的概念
?The NVRAM is 8KB of nonvolatile random access memory. This is a pluggable chip that is often located on the main system board ?The NVRAM stores the Ethernet address, host ID, and the TOD clock. A single lithium battery within the NVRAM module provides battery backup for the NVRAM and clock ?The NVRAM module also contains the EEPROM for the parameters that have been changed or customized from the boot PROMdefault parameters settings ?The user-interface commands and device aliases are stored in the NVRAM
