  • Copy on Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis and Implementation
    Copy On Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis And Implementation Sakis Kasampalis Kongens Lyngby 2010 IMM-MSC-2010-63 Technical University of Denmark Department Of Informatics Building 321, DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark Phone +45 45253351, Fax +45 45882673 [email protected] www.imm.dtu.dk Abstract In this work I am focusing on Copy On Write based file systems. Copy On Write is used on modern file systems for providing (1) metadata and data consistency using transactional semantics, (2) cheap and instant backups using snapshots and clones. This thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the design and performance of Copy On Write based file systems. Recent efforts aiming at creating a Copy On Write based file system are ZFS, Btrfs, ext3cow, Hammer, and LLFS. My work focuses only on ZFS and Btrfs, since they support the most advanced features. The main goals of ZFS and Btrfs are to offer a scalable, fault tolerant, and easy to administrate file system. I evaluate the performance and scalability of ZFS and Btrfs. The evaluation includes studying their design and testing their performance and scalability against a set of recommended file system benchmarks. Most computers are already based on multi-core and multiple processor architec- tures. Because of that, the need for using concurrent programming models has increased. Transactions can be very helpful for supporting concurrent program- ming models, which ensure that system updates are consistent. Unfortunately, the majority of operating systems and file systems either do not support trans- actions at all, or they simply do not expose them to the users.

  • Use of Seek When Writing Or Reading Binary Files
    Title stata.com file — Read and write text and binary files Description Syntax Options Remarks and examples Stored results Reference Also see Description file is a programmer’s command and should not be confused with import delimited (see [D] import delimited), infile (see[ D] infile (free format) or[ D] infile (fixed format)), and infix (see[ D] infix (fixed format)), which are the usual ways that data are brought into Stata. file allows programmers to read and write both text and binary files, so file could be used to write a program to input data in some complicated situation, but that would be an arduous undertaking. Files are referred to by a file handle. When you open a file, you specify the file handle that you want to use; for example, in . file open myfile using example.txt, write myfile is the file handle for the file named example.txt. From that point on, you refer to the file by its handle. Thus . file write myfile "this is a test" _n would write the line “this is a test” (without the quotes) followed by a new line into the file, and . file close myfile would then close the file. You may have multiple files open at the same time, and you may access them in any order. 1 2 file — Read and write text and binary files Syntax Open file file open handle using filename , read j write j read write text j binary replace j append all Read file file read handle specs Write to file file write handle specs Change current location in file file seek handle query j tof j eof j # Set byte order of binary file file set handle byteorder hilo j lohi j 1 j 2 Close

  • File Storage Techniques in Labview
    File Storage Techniques in LabVIEW Starting with a set of data as if it were generated by a daq card reading two channels and 10 samples per channel, we end up with the following array: Note that the first radix is the channel increment, and the second radix is the sample number. We will use this data set for all the following examples. The first option is to send it directly to a spreadsheet file. spreadsheet save of 2D data.png The data is wired to the 2D array input and all the defaults are taken. This will ask for a file name when the program block is run, and create a file with data values, separated by tab characters, as follows: 1.000 2.000 3.000 4.000 5.000 6.000 7.000 8.000 9.000 10.000 10.000 20.000 30.000 40.000 50.000 60.000 70.000 80.000 90.000 100.000 Note that each value is in the format x.yyy, with the y's being zeros. The default format for the write to spreadsheet VI is "%.3f" which will generate a floating point number with 3 decimal places. If a number with higher decimal places is entered in the array, it would be truncated to three. Since the data file is created in row format, and what you really need if you are going to import it into excel, is column format. There are two ways to resolve this, the first is to set the transpose bit on the write function, and the second, is to add an array transpose, located in the array pallet.

  • The NTFS File System
    The NTFS File System OVERVIEW: This lab is part of a series of lab exercises intended to support courseware for Forensics training. The development of this document is funded by the Department of Labor (DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grant No. TC-22525-11-60-A-48. In this lab, students will enumerate hosts on the network using various tools. This lab includes the following tasks: 1 – Examining the NTFS File System 2 – Using a HEX Editor to explore an NTFS Partition 3 – Verifying and viewing the image details 4 – Analyzing an NTFS Partition With Autopsy Key TermDescription The acronym NTFS stands for New Technology File System. The NTFS File System was originally introduced with the Windows NT. NTFS is a journaling file system which means it keeps a log of changes being written to the disk. If a computer is shutdown improperly, it will have a better NTFS chance of recovery if it has a journaling file system. Files and folder access can be restricted with the security feature of NTFS. Starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft included the Encrypted File System, or EFS, as an NTFS feature. EFS allows users to encrypt files to protect against unauthorized access. A Feature of the NTFS File system that allows you to encrypt files and folders. The feature EFS became available on the NTFS File system starting with Windows 2000, and is still available today on Windows 10 and Server 2016. An Alternate Data Stream, or ADS, is a feature of the NTFS file system that allowed compatibility ADS with older versions of the Mac OS.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • MULTIPLE ACCUDRAW SHORTCUT FILES by Seth M
    MULTIPLE ACCUDRAW SHORTCUT FILES By Seth M. Cohen, ProSoft NET Is your MicroStation desktop cluttered with toolframes & toolbars? Are you sacrificing precious desktop real estate because “YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT ICON”? If so, then creating multiple AccuDraw key-in shortcuts will let you reclaim your desktop! What is AccuDraw? According to the MicroStation/J help, “AccuDraw is a drafting aid that evaluates such parameters as your current pointer location, the previously entered data point, the last coordinate directive, the current tool's needs, and any directive you have entered via either keyboard shortcuts or AccuDraw options. AccuDraw then generates the appropriate precision coordinates and applies them to the active tool”. The topic that we will be discussing is AccuDraw shortcuts. ACCUDRAW SHORTCUTS The functionality of AccuDraw shortcuts is to run MicroStation key-in commands. This is accomplished by the user creating a shortcut to a desired key-in by associating two alphanumeric characters to that key-in. Here is an example of how to create an AccuDraw shortcut, and how they can make drafting more efficient, and increase your MicroStation desktop. Wouldn’t it be nice if…….you could turn off the display of, let’s say, 150 reference files without having to: 1) Open the Reference File Dialog box 2) Select all the reference files 3) Click the display toggle on the Reference File Dialog to off 4) Click the Update All icon to refresh the view Well with AccuDraw, you could set two shortcuts to toggle all the reference files on and off. Here’s how: First, we will define two shortcuts that will act like switches.
