  • Patent number: 7769725
    Abstract: A storage device implements a file profiling mechanism to minimize fragmentation. A plurality of files is organized according to a high or low read/write access frequency. A plurality of unchanging file types are placed in a first grouping. A plurality of oscillating file types are placed in a second grouping adjacent to the first grouping. A plurality of the high frequency read/write access files which are growing file types are placed in a third grouping adjacent to the second grouping. A remainder of the growing file types not placed in the third grouping is defragmented. The remainder of the growing file types is then placed in a fourth grouping adjacent to the third grouping.

  • Patent number: 7721155
    Abstract: A method of operation of a computer system having a master and slave Inter-IC (I2C) bus network includes detecting and isolating an I2C bus failure, configuring a failed I2C bus as offline, reconfiguring a remaining I2C bus as a multi-mastered bus, and masking the failed I2C bus from operation until the failed I2C bus can be repaired. A first test request is sent to a remote device from a local device. If the remote device receives the first test request, a remote bus mode is switched to a failure position, a local bus mode is switched to a multi-master position, and a second request is sent to the remote device to indicate position changes.
