  • Patent number: 7454405
    Abstract: A file management program which enables efficient access to data in a directory file by utilizing an extent-based data access structure. When a processing request containing the name information for a file to be processed is inputted, a hash-value generation unit applies a predetermined hash function to the name information, and generates a hash value of the file to be processed. Next, a physical-block-number acquisition unit looks up a hash-value-range table, extracts hash-value-range information, and acquires a physical-block number from the hash-value-range information, where a hash-value range containing the hash value of the file to be processed is included in the hash-value-range information. Then, a directory processing unit acquires from a physical block in a storage device data corresponding to the acquired physical-block number, and performs processing of the data according to the processing request.

  • Publication number: 20080244738
    Abstract: An access control method includes receiving an access request to a file system from a user terminal through a common Internet file system (CIFS) or a network file system (NFS) and determining whether the access request should be allowed. The method includes determining whether a basic permission attribute of an access request used in the NFS should be allowed with reference to access control information associated with basic permission attributes, the basic permission attribute being associated with an access request received from the user terminal through the CIFS, the access control information indicating whether an access request to respective objects of the file system should be allowed or denied, and the access control information being stored in an access-control-information storing unit. The method also includes determining whether the access request associated with the allowed basic permission attribute should be allowed, in reference to the access control information.

  • Publication number: 20080172423
    Abstract: An HSM program allows a computer to execute control for an HSM apparatus. The program allows the computer to execute: an event data recording step that records a file operation for the primary storage or archive state change as event data; a namespace replication step that generates a namespace replication database obtained by replicating the namespace of the primary storage; a namespace-following step that allows the namespace replication database to follow the namespace of the primary storage based on the event data; and a file migration instruction step that instructs file migration between the primary and secondary storages based on the namespace replication database.
