1 File Management Ezio Bartocci Cyber-Physical Systems Group Institute for Computer Engineering Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien

2 Motivation A process can only contain a limited amount of information in its address space The address space of the process is only available during the lifetime of the process Need to be able to use data from multiple processes Files / Filesystem on disk storage, etc. 2

3 File Systems The file system permits users to create data collections, called files, with desirable properties: Long-term existence: they are stored on disk or other secondary storage and do not disappear when user logs off. Sharable between processes: files have names and can have associated access permissions that permit controlled sharing Structure: a file can have an internal structure that is convenient for particular application. 3

4 File Structure Field: a field is a basic element of data (fixed of variable length). It contains a single value (i.e. name of a customer). Record: a collection of related fields that can be treated as a unit (Employee record with name, social security number, ect.) File: an collection of records. It is treated as a single entity by users and applications (referenced by name) Database: collection of related data, where the relationships among the elements are explicit. It may consist of one or more types or files. 4

5 File Management Systems A file management system has the following objectives: To meet the requirements of the user for data management enabling to perform the necessary operations To guarantee that the data in the file are valid To optimize the performance of the OS (throughtput, response time) To provide I/O support for a variety of storage device To minimize or to eliminate the potential for lost/destroyed data To provide I/O interface routines for file manipulation for a single or multiple users 5

6 File Systems Architecture At lowest level device drivers communicates directly with peripheral devices or their controllers or channels A device driver is responsible for starting I/O operations on a device and processing the completion of an I/O request Device drivers are considered to be part of the OS Mass storage device drivers 6

7 File Systems Architecture The Basic file systems deals with the blocks of data that are exchanged with the mass storage device (i.e. disk, tape, etc.) Placement into secondary storage devices, buffering into the main memory It does not understand the content of the data It is part of the OS Basic file system Mass storage device drivers 7

8 File Systems Architecture The basic I/O supervisor is responsible for all file initiation and termination At this level controls structures are maintained to deal with device I/O, scheduling and file status. The basic I/O supervisor selects the device on which file I/O is to be performed It is also concerned with scheduling of the disk and tape access to optimize performances It is part of the OS Basic I/O supervisor Basic file system Mass storage device drivers 8

9 File Systems Architecture The Logical I/O enables users and applications to access records. Thus, whereas the basic file system deals with blocks of data, the logical I/O module deals with file records. Logical I/O Basic I/O supervisor Basic file system Mass storage device drivers 9

10 File Systems Architecture The level on the file systems closest to the user is the access method. It provides a standard interface between applications and the file systems and devices that hold the data. User Pile Sequential Indexed Sequential Logical I/O Indexed Basic I/O supervisor Hashed Basic file system Mass storage device drivers 10

11 Elements of a File Management Directory Management User & Program Commands Operation, File Name File Structure Access Method Records Blocking Physical Blocks in Main-Memory Buffers I/O Physical Blocks in Secondary Storage Free Storage Management User Access Control File Allocation Responsibility: File Management Operative System 11

12 Data organization: Goal Short access time Easy to update / change Low space consumption Good maintainability Reliability 12

13 File organization and access Possible types of file organization: Unstructured sequence of bytes Pile: records of variable length are stored in order of arrival Sequential file: records of variable length are stored in order of arrival. Indexed-sequential file: index for direct access. Indexed file: Own indexes for all search fields. Direct (hashed) file: hash function over key field, no sequential order of files. 13

14 Data Organization Pile: Sequential File: KEY - Variable length records - Variable set of fields? - Chronological order - Records fixed length - Fixed amount of fields with fixed order - Order by key 14

15 Data Organization (2) Indexed Sequential File: Indexed File: 1 2 n Index Main File Index Index Index Overflow File Primary File 15

16 Data Organization (3) Hash File: Hash Function f Primary File Overflow File 16

17 B-trees A B-tree is a self-balancing tree data structure that keeps data sorted and allows searches, sequential access, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time. 17

18 File Types Regular Files ASCII Files vs binary Files binary Files: data, executables, etc. OS must be able to interpret Exe-File format: header, text, data, recolation bits, symbol table Magic Number in Header identifies exe-file Directories Character Special Files Representation of sequential I/O devices Block Special Files 18

19 File Attributes Creator, Owner, Protection, Password Read-only flag, Hidden flag, System flag, Archive flag, ASCII/binary flag, Random access flag, Temporary flag, Lock flags Creation time, Time of last access, Time of last change Record length, Key position, Key length Current size, Maximum size 19

20 File Names Number of characters ( ) OS: MS-DOS (Win95, Win98): 8 characters + Extension, Unix: 255 characters Relevance of upper/lower case, allowed characters OS: Unix distinguish between upper/lower case while Win95/98 File Name Extensions Part of the name (Win) Convention (Unix) Number of extensions: one (Win) vs. Any (Unix) 20

21 File Operations Typical operations: Create, Delete Open, Close Read, Write, Append Seek Get Attributes, Set Attributes Rename Lock 21

22 File directory (directory, folder) Directory of saved files Returns image of filenames on data Entries: Name, Attribute,? Physical address of the data Structure: simple list (first OS) Hierarchical tree structure Directories stored in Hash-structure for faster access times (vs. separate files). 22

23 Directory with tree structure Main directory Directory klaus Directory home System home usr hans klaus log.txt mail Path name: /home/klaus/log.txt Datei log.txt 23

24 Path names Absolute (absolute path name): identifies file by describing the path outgoing from the root Windows: \usr\william\mailbox Unix: /usr/william/mailbox Relative (relative path name): localizes file from the working directory (CurrentDirectory) working directory /usr relative path: hans/mailbox Current directory:. (dot)./hans/mailbox Parent directory:.. (dotdot)../home/klaus/log.txt 24

25 Directory Operations Typical Operations: Create, Delete Opendir, Closedir Readdir, Rename Link, Unlink Change of access rights, etc. 25

26 Access Rights The following list is representative of access rights that can be assigned to a particular user for a particular file: Name: the user is allow to see the name of a file Knowledge: the user can see who is the file s owner Execution: the user can execute the file Reading: the user can read the content of the file Appending: the user can add data at the end of the file Updating: the user can update the data in the file Changing protection: the user change the access rights given to other users Deletion: the user can delete the file Each right implies those that precede it 26

27 File ownership One user is designated as owner of a given file (the person who initially created the file). The owner has all the access rights described before and he/she can extend the rights to others: Specific user: individual users who are designed by user id User groups: a set of users who are not individually defined. The system must have a way of keeping track of the membership of user groups All: all the user who have access to this system. These are public files. 27

28 Implementation of the File Systems How are files and directories stored? How is the disk space managed? Performance? Reliability?... 28

29 Example: File system layout disk master boot record partition table partition MBR boot block super block free mgmt i-nodes root dir. files & directories Unix/linux partition 29

30 Disk and File-System Layout Disk partitioning into partitions with independent FS Master Boot Record (MBR) in Sektor 0 of Disk Boot Code Partition Table (start/end of partitions, active partition) System start: BIOS executes MBR code Locate the active partition Execute the first block (= boot block): Load the OS of the active partition a super block describes the state of the file system: the total size of the partition, the block size, pointers to a list of free blocks, the inode number of the root directory, magic number, etc. Alternatively: Boot menu for OS / partition selection Boot block in the first sector (floppy disks) MBR = initial program loader (IPL), volume boot code, masterboot 30

31 File implementation A file exists in the secondary store as a collection of blocks Where can I find the blocks of a file? Different strategies of block allocation 31

32 Contiguous Allocation A file occupies a single, contiguous set of blocks. Advantage: no external fragmentation Disadvantages: space problems when a file is enlarged; External fragmentation. Used in CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs File A File B File C File D File Allocation Table File Name Start Block Length File A 1 3 File B 10 4 File C 16 2 File D

33 Chained Allocation Allocation is on individual block basis. Each block contains a pointer to the next block in the chain. Advantages: no external fragmentation Disadvantages: no locality of the blocks; Slow access for random access; User data per block < 2 n, since pointer to successor block itself needs space in the block. File A File Allocation Table File Name Start Block Length File A File C

34 Indexed Allocation Similar to the Chained Allocation, but the pointers are kept in a table in the memory (File Allocation Table, FAT) and not in the blocks of the file. Pros: direct, sequential access well supported; Blocks available for user data Cons: large space requirement for FAT in memory File B File C File Allocation Table File Name Index Block File B 11 34

35 I-Nodes Control structure that contains the key informations needed by the operative system for a particular file. I-node is only used in memory when a file is used (necessary: array which can hold i nodes for maximum number of open files) i-node attributes 35

36 I-Nodes Disadvantage: Number of block references per i-node is limited à Use of indirect, double and triple indirect blocks i-node attributes 36

37 Sequential Files - Blocking Seq. File: Records logical unit for file access Methods for mapping records to blocks: Fixed blocking: records fixed length, integral number of records per block à blended Variable-length spanned blocking: records of variable length, records can also be distributed to two blocks à no blending Variable-length unspanned blocking: records of variable length, record as a whole stored in a block à blended 37

38 Fixed Blocking: Block-Management (2) R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 Track 1 Track 2 Variable Blocking Spanned: R1 R2 R3 R4 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 R10 Variable Blocking Unspanned: R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 R6 R11 R10 Track 1 Track 2 Track 1 Track 2 38

39 Find files Directory Implementation 1. Localization of the root directory 2. Interpretation of the path Fixed position from the start Fixed position from the start of the start Unix: start address of i-nodes in superblock First i-node refers to root directory Win: Boot Sector contains information about the address of the Master File Table (MFT) 39

40 Directory and File-Attributes Where does the OS find the file attributes? File-attributes in directory entries Example: Directory entries of fixed size of the form: Filename (fixed size), structure with file attributes, one or more block addresses. Storing the attributes in i nodes? Directory entries: Filename, i-node number 40

41 Directories in Win95/98 Based on MS-DOS File System new in Win95/ N creat. last last base name ext. file size T dt./tim. acc s write attributes starting block upper 16 bits Extension entries for long filenames starting block lower 16 bits characters 0 6 characters (unicode chars) 0 2 chars sequence attributes 0x0F check sum 41

42 Directories in Unix Original basic structure 2 14 file name i-node Number 42

43 File Block Size How big are the blocks of files? Use of the storage space Access time Space usage vs. Data rate, file size constant 2Kbyte 43

44 Management of free blocks Disk Allocation Table for marking free blocks Chained Free Portions: All free areas connected by [pointer / length] entry? Problem: with time fragmentation, overhead for pointer update (= R / W) in file operations. Bit Tables: Bit vector with one bit per disk block. Low space requirement, good overview of sequences of free blocks. Indexing: Free blocks viewed as a separate file. Efficient for all file assignment procedures. 44

45 Disk Caching Performance Utilization of the locality Meaning of a block for the consistency of the file system à Write Back Block Read Ahead Head movements of the disc 45

46 Summary File is the central element of most programs. User view versus designer view File system structure Files, Directories, Special Files Image of files on file blocks, management of free blocks 46
