(Default branch) 04/08/2005 06:05 PM
The Global File System (GFS) is a 64-bit shared disk cluster file system for Linux. GFS cluster nodes physically share the same storage by means of Fibre Channel or shared SCSI devices. The file system appears to be local on each node and GFS synchronizes file access across the cluster. GFS is fully symmetric, meaning that all nodes are equal and there is no server which may be a bottleneck or single point of failure. GFS uses read and write caching while maintaining full UNIX file system semantics. GFS supports journaling, recovery from client failures, and many other features.

Pepsi ads to feature file-sharing teens

Pepsi ads to feature file-sharing teens 01/23/2004 02:20 PM
Pepsi is recruiting RIAA-targetted file-sharers for its TV ads.

Some 20 teens sued by the Recording Industry Association of America, which accuses them of unauthorized downloads, will appear in a Pepsi-Cola (PEP) ad that kicks off a two-month offer of up to 100 million free -- and legal -- downloads from Apple's iTunes, the leading online music seller. The sassy ad, to be seen by Super Bowl's 88 million viewers on Feb 1, is a wink at the download hot button. Pepsi hopes the promotion will connect its flagship cola, as well as Sierra Mist and Diet Pepsi, with teens who've shown more affinity for bottled water, energy drinks and the Internet.

The Lycos File System?

The Lycos File System? 09/10/2004 08:40 PM
In 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?

The 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....

Anyone 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.

Windows XP System File Checker

Windows XP System File Checker 04/12/2004 02:21 PM

scannow 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 PM

I'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:

1. where are these file system features documented?
2. is it possible to add, on a system-wide basis, an extra default property that will appear in the simple or advanced dialog boxes?
3. how does one add extra properties to an individual file that wasn't created in Office?  Is it possible through menus and dialog boxes?
4. 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.
