What Is File System Journaling?
12/15/2003 01:16 AMHave you ever wondered, "What is File System Journaling"? Don't worry,
most of us have. File System Journaling was originally a feature only
available to the server world. Finally, File System Journaling has
made it to our favorite home computers.

The Lycos File System?
The Lycos File System?
09/10/2004 08:40 PMIn the last week or so there's been a lot of buzz about a hack that
would let people use their 1 gig Gmail account as an online file
storage system, called the
Gmail Filesystem. Of course, this is a hack and
one that Google is likely to shut down before too long. However, you
have to wonder if it's just a coincidence that Lycos is now getting
ready to announce
what sounds like the Lycos file system. They had already
announced plans to offer
1 gig
for email -- though not for free, and the latest plans indicate
that they'll let people use the space to store any kind of files they
want. It's almost amusing to see the search engine/portal players
back into the world that many predicted they would own years ago. Of
course, the question is how quickly will Google and others respond?

01/05/2004 10:21 PMAnyone an expert on the WinXP file
system?: I'm on the same wavelength as Greenspun here, and I've
actually pursued this a bit. Using the Indexing Service you can get a
lot of information about files, and it's not that hard o re-purpose
that meta into something else.
Furthermore, using WMI, you can capture events from the file
system — have a script execute whenever a file is added to a
certain folder, for instance, or when a file is modified or deleted.
There's a lot of untapped potential in the Windows file system. With
enough time, you could make a heck of a content management system out
of nothing but XML files in a directory structure.
I'm thinking of writing a tutorial on how to use the
Windows XP file system as a photo database. [...] the Windows file
system seems likely to outlive many of us [...] if you create a
document using Notebook and click right on the file icon then select
Properties you get to a page where a "Summary" tab is an option. You
now have the opportunity to edit Title, Subject, Author, Category,
Keywords, and Comments fields. These fields are searched if you use
the built-in Windows file search mechanism and look for "a word or a
phrase in a file"
If you like the idea of expanded meta information for files, It's the Content is a good
system that allows you to define your own meta in an environment
that's an extension of the Windows file system. Not that expensive,
either.

Google File System
10/28/2003 11:08 PMThe Google File System [PDF], by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, and
Shun-Tak Leung of Google. This is a technical paper that explains
Google's custom scalable cluster filesystem for storing their gigantic
database of the entire Web across thousands of low-cost PCs.First,
component failures are the norm rather than the exception. The file
system consists of hundreds or even thousands of storage machines
built from inexpensive commodity parts and is accessed by a comparable
number of client machines. The quantity and quality of the components
virtually guarantee that some are not functional at any given time and
some will not recover from their current failures. We have seen
problems caused by application bugs, operating system bugs, human
errors, and the failures of disks, memory, connectors, networking, and
power supplies. Therefore, constant monitoring, error detection, fault
tolerance, and automatic recovery must be integral to the
system.Probably only interesting to real geeks....

Windows XP System File Checker
04/12/2004 02:21 PMscannow sfc:
Here's a handy Windows XP feature I had never heard of until
today.
From a command prompt, type "sfc /scannow" and Windows will look
through all its system files for ones that don't match up with the
others (if, for instance, a third party app replaced them with older
versions). If it finds any, it will replace them off the install
CD.
The main reason for using this utility is when you suspect
there may be a problem with a Windows XP system file.
Perhaps you get a dialog box appear informing you of a problem with
a .dll file, or your program will just not load! It is therefore worth
checking to see if there are any corrupt system files using scannow
sfc.
Additionally, this is a fantastic article on the utility.
Well-written, well-researched, and full of debugging information
should you have a problem. We need more tech support articles written
like this one.
"sfc" stands for "System File Checker."

Anyone an expert on the WinXP file
system?
01/07/2004 03:31 PMI'm thinking of writing a tutorial on how to use the Windows XP
file system as a photo database. My theory is based on the
following premises:
- people need a database method that will last 30+ years
- very few software products have a 30+ year life
- ergo, one cannot rely on a proprietary photo database and even
reliance on a standard relational database management system (RDBMS)
such as Oracle may be risky
- the average consumer photographer does not have time/inclination
to write computer programs nor to maintain an RDBMS
- the Windows file system seems likely to outlive many of us
- if you create a document using Notebook and click right on the
file icon then select Properties you get to a page where a "Summary"
tab is an option. You now have the opportunity to edit Title,
Subject, Author, Category, Keywords, and Comments fields. These
fields are searched if you use the built-in Windows file search
mechanism and look for "a word or a phrase in a file"
- ergo, Windows seems to have the capability of recording a photo
caption, extra keywords, and indexing those
If you look at the properties of a Word document and click
"Advanced" from the Summary tab you find a whole lot more properties
and they are editable. There is also a Custom tab on a Word
document in which you can create your own property name/value
pairs. However these property values don't seem to be searchable
using the standard Windows search tool. If you look at the
properties of a JPEG taken with a digital camera and choose Advanced
you see a huge list of "Image" properties separated from the default
Windows file system Description and Origin fields. Some but not
all of these fields seem to be searchable.
So... to the questions:
- where are these file system features documented?
- is it possible to add, on a system-wide basis, an extra default
property that will appear in the simple or advanced dialog boxes?
- how does one add extra properties to an individual file that
wasn't created in Office? Is it possible through menus and
dialog boxes?
- any other comments from an expert on the viability of using the
Windows file system and its full-text indexer as a photo
database?
Thanks for helping! Posting ideas in the comment section is
most welcome but email to philg@mit.edu would also be
appreciated.
