As toward a ubiquitous society, a lot of methods have been proposed to protect personal privacy. Smart Cards with CPU and Memory are widely being used to implement the methods. The use of Java Card is also gradually getting expanded into more various applications. Because there is no standards in Java Card File System, Generally, Java Card File System follows the standards of Smart Card File System. However, one of disadvantages of the Java Card File System using a standard of Smart Card File System is that inefficient memory use and increasing processing time are caused by redundancy of data and program codes. In this paper, a File Cache method and a Direct Access method are proposed to solve the problems. The proposed methods are providing efficient memory use and reduced processing time by reduce a program codes.

If a file system is damaged because of the unusual system close, the system performs the consistency test using fsch and it takes long time. Especially, if it is a big file system, it will take a lot of time. The journaling file system that uses journaling technique, can reduce the restoring time because it uses meta data and it may increase the chance of restoration when restoring. The goal of this paper compared performance evaluation journaling file systems focused on the reading and writing using Iozone tool which is the kernel based benchmarking tool in linux operating system. In this paper, Ex4 which is the current basic Linux file system. is 1.28x faster than XFS file system in terms of file read performance and 1.22x faster than Ext3 file system in terms of file write performance.

The overlay2 file system is one of the union file systems that mounts multiple directories into one. The source directory used for this overlay2 file system mount has a characteristic that it operates independently of the write-able layer after mounting, so it is often used for container platforms for application delivery. However, the overlay2 file system has a security vulnerability that the write-able layer is also modified when file in the source directory is modified. In this study, I proposed the overlay2 file system protection technology to remove the security vulnerabilities of the overlay2 file system. As a result of empirically implementing the proposed overlay2 file system protection technology and verifying the function, the protection technology proposed in this study was verified to be effective. However, since the method proposed in this study is a passive protection method, a follow-up study is needed to automatically protect it at the operating system level.

Nowadays, we have many embedded systems which store and process multimedia data. For multimedia systems using hard disks as storage media such as DVR, existing file systems are not the right choice to store multimedia data in terms of cost. performance and reliability. In this study we designed a reliable file system with very high performance for embedded multimedia applications. The proposed file system runs with quite simple disk layout to reduce time to initialize and to recover after power failures, uses a large data block to speed up the sequential accesses, incorporates a time-based indexing scheme to improve the time-based random accesses and boosts reliability by backing up the important meta data on a small NVRAM. We implemented the file system on a Linux-based DVR and verified the performance by comparing with existing file systems.

Objectives: No studies have yet assessed vibration characteristics according to endodontic file length. Accordingly, the objective of the present study was to examine the vibration characteristics according to nickel-titanium file length and to compare these characteristics between different file systems. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 root canal models were divided into 3 experimental groups (n = 15 each) based on the file system used (ProTaper Gold [PTG], ProTaper Next, or WaveOne Gold [WOG]). Each experimental group was further divided into 3 subgroups according to file length (21, 25, or 31 mm). An electric motor (X-SMART PLUS) was used in the experiment. For each file system, vibrations generated when using a size 25 file were measured and used to calculate the average vibration acceleration. The differences in vibrations were analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance and the Scheffé post hoc test with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: In the PTG file system, significantly lower vibration acceleration was observed when using a 21-mm file than when using a 31-mm file. In the WOG file system, significantly stronger vibration acceleration was observed when using a 31-mm file than when using 21- or 25-mm files. Regardless of the file length, the WOG group exhibited significantly stronger vibration acceleration than the other 2 experimental groups. Conclusions: In clinical practice, choosing a file with the shortest length possible could help reduce vibrations. Additionally, consideration should be given to vibrations that could be generated when using WOG files with reciprocating motion.

As the development of IT technologies, storages stored very sensitive data which should not be damaged, too. It increased the importance of data backup and makes the time need to backup data important issues. Snapshot is one of the backup technologies which needs short downtime to maintain consistency of data during backup data. In this paper, we studied two kinds of snapshots, local file system based snapshot and network file system based snapshot. In the local file system based snapshot part, we propose the PSnap which is a snapshot library for non-snapshot file system as like Ext2, Ext3 and XFS. In another part, network file system based snapshot, we propose the GlorySnap which snapshot utilities for GloryFS is a distributed file system was made by ETRI.

In this paper, we describe our experience in the design and implementation of the SMART file system to handle multimedia workload. Our work has three design objectives: (ⅰ) efficient support for sequential workload, (ⅱ) avoiding disk fragmentation, (ⅲ) logical unit based file access. To achieve these three objectives, we develop a file system where a file consists of linked list of Data Unit Group. Instead of tree like structure of the legacy Unix file system, we use single level file structure. Our file system can also access the file based upon the logical unit which can be video frame or audio samples. Data Unit Group is a group of logical data units which is allocated continuous disk blocks. At the beginning of each Data Unit Group, there exists an index array. Each index points to the beginning of logical data units, e.g. frames in the Data Unit Group. This index array enables the random access and sequencial access of semantic data units. SMART file system is elaborately tailored to effectively support multimedia workload. We perform physical experiments and compare the performance of SMART file system with EXT2 file system and SGI XFS file system. In this experiment, SMART file system exhibits superior performance under streaming workload.

Recently, the need for multimedia devices, such as digital TV, and camcorder has increased. These devices provide many services on multimedia files such as playing, recording, and editing. Throughout these services, in case of storing edited large-scaled multimedia files, existing file system have several capability problems that are taking too much time and requiring disk I/O. In this paper, we propose the use of Linux Ext2 file system based 'Block-Link file (BL-file) system' in order to solve these problems. For the BL-file system, when editing and storing large-scaled files, there is no data input or output but only modification of the metadata. Additionally, by sharing data blocks between multimedia files, we can save disk spaces. Moreover, because the managing of data block sharing information is more convenient than the existing FWAE technique, we can lessen system overhead. The BL-file system is based on Ext2 file system and implemented in a Linux environment, and the usefulness of the proposed technique is validated by applying the Linux multimedia file-editing tool 'Avidemux'.

Flash memory adoption in the mobile devices is increasing or vanous multimedia services such as audio, videos, and games. Although the traditional research issues such as out-place update, garbage collection, and wear-leveling are important, the performance, memory usage, and fast mount issues of flash memory file system are becoming much more important than ever because flash memory capacity is rapidly increasing. In this paper, we address the problems of the existing log-based flash memory file systems analytically and propose an efficient log-based file system, which produces higher performance, less memory usage and mount time than the existing log-based file systems. Our ideas are applied to a well-known log-based flash memory file system (YAFFS2) and the performance tests are conducted by comparing our prototype with YAFFS2. The experimental results show that our prototype achieves higher performance, less system memory usage, and faster mounting than YAFFS2, which is better than JFFS2.

The NTFS journaling file($LogFile) is used to keep the file system clean in the event of a system crash or power failure. The operation on files leaves large amounts of information in the $LogFile. Despite the importance of a journal file as a forensic evidence repository, its structure is not well documented. The researchers used reverse engineering in order to gain a better understanding of the log record structures of address parts, and utilized the address for identifying object files to gain forensic information.
