Use this tool, vsfs.py, to study how file system state changes as various
|
|
operations take place. The file system begins in an empty state, with just a
|
|
root directory. As the simulation takes place, various operations are
|
|
performed, thus slowly changing the on-disk state of the file system.
|
|
|
|
The possible operations are:
|
|
|
|
- mkdir() - creates a new directory
|
|
- creat() - creates a new (empty) file
|
|
- open(), write(), close() - appends a block to a file
|
|
- link() - creates a hard link to a file
|
|
- unlink() - unlinks a file (removing it if linkcnt==0)
|
|
|
|
To understand how this homework functions, you must first understand how the
|
|
on-disk state of this file system is represented. The state of the file
|
|
system is shown by printing the contents of four different data structures:
|
|
|
|
inode bitmap - indicates which inodes are allocated
|
|
inodes - table of inodes and their contents
|
|
data bitmap - indicates which data blocks are allocated
|
|
data - indicates contents of data blocks
|
|
|
|
The bitmaps should be fairly straightforward to understand, with a 1
|
|
indicating that the corresponding inode or data block is allocated, and a 0
|
|
indicating said inode or data block is free.
|
|
|
|
The inodes each have three fields: the first field indicates the type of file
|
|
(e.g., f for a regular file, d for a directory); the second indicates which
|
|
data block belongs to a file (here, files can only be empty, which would have
|
|
the address of the data block set to -1, or one block in size, which would
|
|
have a non-negative address); the third shows the reference count for the file
|
|
or directory. For example, the following inode is a regular file, which is
|
|
empty (address field set to -1), and has just one link in the file system:
|
|
|
|
[f a:-1 r:1]
|
|
|
|
If the same file had a block allocated to it (say block 10), it would be shown
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
[f a:10 r:1]
|
|
|
|
If someone then created a hard link to this inode, it would then become:
|
|
|
|
[f a:10 r:2]
|
|
|
|
Finally, data blocks can either retain user data or directory data. If filled
|
|
with directory data, each entry within the block is of the form (name,
|
|
inumber), where "name" is the name of the file or directory, and "inumber" is
|
|
the inode number of the file. Thus, an empty root directory looks like this,
|
|
assuming the root inode is 0:
|
|
|
|
[(.,0) (..,0)]
|
|
|
|
If we add a single file "f" to the root directory, which has been allocated
|
|
inode number 1, the root directory contents would then become:
|
|
|
|
[(.,0) (..,0) (f,1)]
|
|
|
|
If a data block contains user data, it is shown as just a single character
|
|
within the block, e.g., "h". If it is empty and unallocated, just a pair of
|
|
empty brackets ([]) are shown.
|
|
|
|
An entire file system is thus depicted as follows:
|
|
|
|
inode bitmap 11110000
|
|
inodes [d a:0 r:6] [f a:1 r:1] [f a:-1 r:1] [d a:2 r:2] [] ...
|
|
data bitmap 11100000
|
|
data [(.,0) (..,0) (y,1) (z,2) (f,3)] [u] [(.,3) (..,0)] [] ...
|
|
|
|
This file system has eight inodes and eight data blocks. The root directory
|
|
contains three entries (other than "." and ".."), to "y", "z", and "f". By
|
|
looking up inode 1, we can see that "y" is a regular file (type f), with a
|
|
single data block allocated to it (address 1). In that data block 1 are the
|
|
contents of the file "y": namely, "u". We can also see that "z" is an empty
|
|
regular file (address field set to -1), and that "f" (inode number 3) is a
|
|
directory, also empty. You can also see from the bitmaps that the first four
|
|
inode bitmap entries are marked as allocated, as well as the first three data
|
|
bitmap entries.
|
|
|
|
The simulator can be run with the following flags:
|
|
|
|
prompt> vsfs.py -h
|
|
Usage: vsfs.py [options]
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-s SEED, --seed=SEED the random seed
|
|
-i NUMINODES, --numInodes=NUMINODES
|
|
number of inodes in file system
|
|
-d NUMDATA, --numData=NUMDATA
|
|
number of data blocks in file system
|
|
-n NUMREQUESTS, --numRequests=NUMREQUESTS
|
|
number of requests to simulate
|
|
-r, --reverse instead of printing state, print ops
|
|
-p, --printFinal print the final set of files/dirs
|
|
-c, --compute compute answers for me
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
A typical usage would simply specify a random seed (to generate a different
|
|
problem), and the number of requests to simulate. In this default mode, the
|
|
simulator prints out the state of the file system at each step, and asks you
|
|
which operation must have taken place to take the file system from one state
|
|
to another. For example:
|
|
|
|
prompt> vsfs.py -n 6 -s 16
|
|
...

When run in this mode, the simulator just shows a series of states, and asks
|
|
what operations caused these transitions to occur. Running with the "-c" flag
|
|
shows us the answers. Specifically, file "/y" was created, a single block
|
|
appended to it, a hard link from "/m" to "/y" created, "/m" removed via a call
|
|
to unlink, the file "/z" created, and the directory "/f" created:

You can also run the simulator in "reverse" mode (with the "-r" flag),
|
|
printing the operations instead of the states to see if you can predict the
|
|
state changes from the given operations:
|
|
|
|
prompt> ./vsfs.py -n 6 -s 16 -r

A few other flags control various aspects of the simulation, including the
|
|
number of inodes ("-i"), the number of data blocks ("-d"), and whether to
|
|
print the final list of all directories and files in the file system ("-p").
