How is a file loaded in the FAT file system?

Tag: filesystems,fat32,assembly

I am developing a bootloader in x86 Assembly and I have a question about the FAT file system.

Which steps are necessary to find and load the file?

Best How To :

There is no simple answer, so I won't delve into it here.
You have to peek into the FAT (File Allocation Table) structures on the disk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_the_FAT_file_system

Ruby process to index files on a linux filesystem

mysql,ruby-on-rails,ruby,linux,filesystems

You will want to look into inotify. https://github.com/nex3/rb-inotify You can set a watch (register a callback in the Linux kernel) on a file or a directory, and everytime something changes in that file/directory, the kernel will notify you immediately with a list of what has changed. Common events are listed...

How to convert filename with invalid UTF-8 characters back to bytes?

python,python-3.x,unicode,utf-8,filesystems

Use an error handler; in this case the surrogateescape error handler looks appropriate: Value: 'surrogateescape' Meaning: On decoding, replace byte with individual surrogate code ranging fromU+DC80toU+DCFF. This code will then be turned back into the same byte when the'surrogateescape'` error handler is used when encoding the data. (See PEP 383...

Filesystem independent way of using glob.glob and regular expressions with unicode filenames in Python

python,regex,python-3.x,unicode,filesystems

I'm assuming you want to match unicode equivalent filenames, e.g. you expect an input pattern of u'\xE9*' to match both filenames u'\xE9qui' and u'e\u0301qui' on any operating system, i.e. character-level pattern matching. You have to understand that this is not the default on Linux, where bytes are taken as bytes,...

rmdir (2) used for directory tree removal

filesystems,standards,system-calls,syscall,standards-compliance

According to the "official" spec, http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799//functions/rmdir.html , no. It clearly says "The directory shall be removed only if it is an empty directory., and further If the directory is not an empty directory, rmdir() shall fail and set errno to [EEXIST] or [ENOTEMPTY].. Anyway, I suspect such a filesystem supporting...

How should I read the filename in FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct

c++,winapi,filesystems,file-monitoring,readdirectorychangesw

You have a number of problems that I can see immediately: According to the docs for the ReadDirectoryChangesW function, the buffer needs to be DWORD-aligned. As you are using a buffer on the stack this isn't guaranteed - you should allocate one from the heap instead. You don't seem to...

Travis CI is not case-sensitive by default?

filesystems,phpunit,composer-php,travis-ci,case-sensitive

PHP is not case sensitive when it comes to class names. If your code declares a class named Foo, and this definition is executed, you can also instantiate any other case style, like foo or fOO. PHP will preserve the case of the occurrence that triggers the autoload (i.e. the...

Setting Timestamps on files/directories is extremely slow

c#,winapi,io,filesystems

I'm not a C# programmer and I don't know how those System.IO.FileSystemInfo methods are implemented. But I've made a few tests with the WIN32 API function SetFileTime(..) which will be called by C# at some point. Here is the code snippet of my benchmark-loop: #define NO_OF_ITERATIONS 100000 int iteration; DWORD...

When working with NodeJS FS mkdir, what is the importance of including callbacks?

javascript,node.js,callback,filesystems

The callback is required when you need to know if/when the call succeeded. If you don't care when it's done or don't care to see if there is an error, then you don't have to pass the callback. Remember, this type of function is asynchronous. It completes some unknown time...

How to echo out the contents of every text file that in a directory?

php,filesystems

You could use file_get_contents to put the file into a string. <?php $blacklist = array("index.php"); if ($handle = opendir('.')) { while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) { if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && !in_array($entry, $blacklist)) { echo "$entry " . file_get_contents($entry) .

How do I create a file with boost filesystem without opening it

c++,boost,filesystems

Boost Filesystem V3 doesn't provide a touch(1) function; Even touch will creat+close a file, just look at the output of strace: open("/tmp/q", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 47 dup2(47, 0) = 0 close(47) = 0 utimensat(0, NULL, NULL, 0) = 0 I think your most reasonable bet is to just create a...

Images stored on disk - search by name

java,image,filesystems

As the marked answer in the question you linked states: Do not store images in the database. Store images in directories and store references to the images in the database. Thus, your query would become select path where name like %my_substring% (where path is the name of the column where...

What is the best way to write and append a large file in java

java,web-services,hadoop,filesystems,hdfs

1) You are opening a new writer every time, without closing the previous writer object. 2) Don't open the file for each write operation, instead open it before the loop, and close it after the loop.

Mount ext4 file system with msdos partition table

linux,filesystems,mount,ext4,fdisk

sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb/ /media/backup/ is wrong in 2 aspects: the trailing / after sdb is wrong: /dev/sdb is not a directory, but a device node. sdb itself is wrong as it refers to the whole device, not to the partiotion with the file system. Do sudo mount -t...

javascript,php,file,filesystems,folders

I think sometimes its quicker to write things from scratch rather than work with "Megamoth" but if you need to keep it running you probably need to put it into some kind of version control system. I recommend Git http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29 https://git-scm.com/ and just start refractoring it. Version control system will...

Hadoop HDFS is not distributing blocks of data evenly

hadoop,filesystems,hdfs,yarn

As the hdfs dfs -ls output shows, your replication factor is set to 1, so there is no compelling reason for hdfs to distribute the data blocks on the datanodes. You need to increase the replication level to at least 2 to get what you expect, eg: hdfs dfs -setrep...

Infinite loop when I read from /proc which is implemented with seq_file

linux,linux-kernel,filesystems

Your forget to update *pos parameter in your _next handler. Usually, it is incremented by 1 every _next call. UPDATE: Also your _start handler should navigate to given position. Infinite loop is actually a consequence of cat implementation: it call read(2) until it returns 0 or -1. Because of your...

Find string in log files and return extra characters

You can use regex for grub the text : import re for file in glob.glob('*.log'): with open(file) as f: contents = f.read() if 'FIRMWARE_VERSION = "' in contents: print (file + '='+ re.search(r'FIRMWARE_VERSION ="([\d.]+)"',contents).group(1)) In this case re.search will do the job! with searching the file content based on the...

System time and file system time are not the same

linux,file,time,filesystems,kernel

The usual way to address this is to synchronize the clocks on all of the machines to a common time reference using ntp (usually to a reliable time server). The NTP FAQ and HOWTO is a good place to start. For most Linux servers, just installing the ntp package takes...

Traversing `vm_area_struct`'s of a process

c,linux,linux-kernel,filesystems,mmap

It has a separate vm_area_struct for each map section. If you look at the code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c, functions m_start() and m_next, you'll see that the lines in the maps pseudo-file are created by iteratively traversing the process vma list. Also, note the comment on the struct vm_area_struct declaration: /* *...

operating-system,filesystems,ssd

A filesystem on rotational media is designed to minimize the amount of seeking that is needed to read the blocks that make up a file. In the ideal case, the blocks of a file are contiguous on disk. If a file is small enough, it will be placed in a...

Directory.GetFiles() performance issues

c#,performance,linq,filesystems

The first way is slow for 2 reasons: You're constructing a FileInfo object for each file. There's no need for this if all you want is the file name. Constructing a FileInfo is relatively light, but it's unnecessary and all the instantiations will slow you down if you're querying a...

About Linux file system

linux,filesystems,df

You can see from the df output that /dev/mapper/fedora-home can currently be reached at /home which is its mount point. Because the mount point for /dev/mapper/fedora-root is at / farther up the directory tree, anything that /dev/mapper/fedora-root has in /home is not accessible by normal means until and unless /dev/mapper/fedora-home...
