  • Patent number: 11868401
    Abstract: Provided is an electronic device including a file system, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores at least one instruction that instructs, when executed, the processor to receive a request for access to a file or directory stored in a user data area of the file system. In response to the reception of the request, first information associated with the file or directory is store in the memory, and the size of the file or directory is displayed using the first information. When the first information is information associated with the file, the information indicates the size of the file. When the first information is information associated with the directory, the information indicates a sum of the sizes of all subdirectories and all files included in the directory.

  • Publication number: 20230409471
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a non-volatile memory configured to store at least one file including metadata and user data; a file system configured to manage the at least one file through a log stream; and a file system (FS) manager configured to monitor a free space log included in the log stream corresponding to a first free space of the non-volatile memory, and to transmit a compression request to the file system based on the size of the first free space, displayed on the free space log, having a value less than a first reference value. The file system may be configured to: based on the compression request being received, compress at least a part of the metadata stored in the non-volatile memory based on the log stream, to store same in the first free space; and display a second free space of the non-volatile memory, secured through the compression of the at least a part of the metadata, as a reserved block log in the log stream.
