Feature Required
Data Structures for Storage Management:
Implementing appropriate data structures like B-trees or indexed allocation methods for efficient storage and retrieval of files.
Designing structures for metadata storage (file attributes, permissions, timestamps) to facilitate quick access and modification.
Allocation Strategies:
Defining allocation strategies for disk space (e.g., contiguous, linked, indexed) to optimize storage efficiency and reduce fragmentation.
Handling file growth and shrinkage dynamically while maintaining performance.
Error Handling and Recovery:
Incorporating mechanisms for error detection and recovery to ensure data integrity in case of system crashes or failures.
Implementing journaling or logging mechanisms to track changes and facilitate rollback in case of failures.
Concurrency Control:
Managing concurrent access to the file system to avoid data corruption or inconsistencies.
Implementing locking mechanisms or transactional support to handle multiple users or processes accessing the file system simultaneously.
Security and Access Control:
Integrating mechanisms for access control (permissions, ownership) to protect files and directories from unauthorized access.
Ensuring robust security measures to prevent data breaches or unauthorized modifications.
Performance Optimization:
Optimizing file access operations (read, write, delete) for speed and efficiency.
Minimizing overhead and latency in file system operations through efficient algorithms and caching mechanisms.
Scalability and Extensibility:
Designing the file system to be scalable as storage needs grow over time.
Allowing for easy extension or modification of features without disrupting existing functionalities.
