It's the paradigm that's the problem here, not the implementation, IMHO. While expanding ino_t might allow us to kludge around the problem, the real issue is that not all filesystems have an easy way to associate a (semi)permanent, unique number of any size with a specific file. If it were long enough to store a path, that might solve some FS's problems, except that directories in the path might get renamed. Quite honestly, the application should not be determining whether two files are the same directly. The OS/FS should do that. ino_t in stat() should be deprecated and and alternative system call created. Programs that reference the inode field should be modified to use the new interface. Of course, if I were to believe this would happen just because it's the right design, I'd also believe in the tooth fairy. :-( There's lots of ancient cruft in the design of *nix systems that's very hard to get people to consider even touching, let alone deprecating or removing.

One solution I used in the past (Amiga) was to implement the ATA (and ATAPI) support by writing the equivalent of SCSI CAM SIM; that is a SIM that actually controlled IDE hardware instead of SCSI hardware.

Very true; though providing locality of the metadata and the beginning of the file has obvious benefits (and is used by many filesystems and experiments).

The >Amiga's old filesystem was emminently recoverable because each data >block had a backpointer, but it was so inefficient due to all the copying >required that the updated filesystem removed the metadata so disk blocks >could be DMA'd directory into the buffer. Each block in OFS had a backpointer and a checksum; it was designed (apparently) for mass-storage systems that had no lower-level data integrity mechanisms. Amiga FFS (no relation to Unix FFS) removed all the data-block checksums and pointers, and as a result sequential file reads were able to run at close to raw disk bandwidth. (Direct destination DMA of reads/writes helps a lot here, and was used whenever possible - sector-unaligned IO's would commonly have only the head and tail go through the buffer cache; the middle portion would go direct to the user memory.) The big benefits to locality of meta & file data are to allow drive/driver caching to do sequential (or close to) reads in as large blocks as possible. There was a recent SigOS paper on a modified Unix filesystem that was designed to take advantage of modern disk systems, reduced the number of inode indirection levels, and changed the allocation patterns of data within cylinder groups. Looked nice. Ah, the days of multi-threaded (with co-routines) filesystems written in ultra-tight (for space) assembler, complete with co-routine- semaphores, and a built-in automatic fsck-equivalent.

Interesting - I made a similar mechanism in a hash-chain-based filesystem to speed up directory listings; by storing all the commonly accessed information about a file in the directory in a compressed format, thus avoiding fetching the fileheader (inode) block for every file. The speedup was impressive; I think I was getting 7-25 entries per 512-byte sector; including just all ls -l information. The downside was increased overhead on file-close-after-modify and create/delete, but not a lot. As a side-benefit, recovery after a trashed FS is slightly easier since there's more redundant information available (if the main directory sector/inode gets whacked). -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Yes (if anyone still cares about floppies). The old Amiga trackdisk (floppy driver) could do that, since all the decoding was in software (and via the graphics bitblitter(!)). Do the integrated disk controllers in PC's (still) allow direct raw bit access, or only after MFM decoding? Also, I seem to remember PC's can't recover from bad sector ID's. If I remember correctly, you can read uncorrected sectors off of ATA (maybe) and SCSI (I think), at least using CAM.

Sounds like what I remember; you tell it to find a sector (sectors?) with this header, and it returns it to you. No control over the inter-sector gap, mark, or header directly.

I think that the native Amiga >floppies use MFM2 encoding. Amiga native uses MFM, but because there are no inter-sector gaps (just marks), it packs more onto a track (880K/disk to 720K with normal PC formatting) - 11 sectors instead of 9. You could also use them for GCR or RLL but then decoding had to be entirely in software. MFM could be done by a few passes of the graphics bit-blitter. (I did a major rewrite of the Amiga trackdisk at Commodore to improve bad-sector recovery and speed.) If you could guarantee that drives were close to spec (not the 5%(?) tolerance we assumed), you could pack in 12 sectors I think. I forget, all my math was in comments in the include files (assembler). The next generation chipset from Amiga (AAA) had an improved disk controller on Mary that could handle 2.88MB (3.4MB in Amiga format) floppies, not that they ever took off, as well as do direct CDROM bitstream decode. Never got past a few sample boards in the lab, though. Back to the original question: do people care about floppies and bad-sector recovery anymore? Aren't floppies on the very verge of disappearing for good, replaced by CDRW's? -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team [EMAIL PROTECTED] "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.

Perhaps what could be done is to have a lookup >table which maps between in-system uids and on-disk ones, such that the >kernel presents the translated uid to the system, and remaps the unknown >ones. This is a form of the "how do I know who is?" Other interesting ideas (some related to the above): Store on the disk a (small) UID to user-name/identifier mapping. When mounting a disk, use those mappings to provide the (super)user with the option to map the UID's of users who match the users of files on the disk. There are some issues with identifying whether "joe" is the same "joe" on the other system, but when combined with information that's currently in passwd, it shouldn't be hard. You can also provide this info to the person mounting the disk in a nice form that they can accept, modify, or reject (and mount as totally foreign). For the case of shared user databases, this should always come up with a 1:1 complete mapping. You could extend this to use some form of public-key signature to distinguish between users with similar names, and/or query the original machine for more info/permission if possible. When you mount a disk with UID translation going on, you could also change the UID of new/modified files to be that of the user on the new system (and update the user database on the partition), so when the disk was moved back the original owner could filter out modifications if he so wishes, or 'vet' them. Note: this includes root; or root can be handled specially. Much of what's going on here is that the decisions need to be in user space, and this allows the software to present the user with a likely set of mappings that they can accept, modify or reject. If a (non-priviledged) user wants to mount a disk, they should not be given any other than "other" access to anything (if that(?)), unless they can identify themselves as the same user as one of the users on the mounted disk (see above) - depending on how draconian you want to be, and what level of security you've configured the disk for. (Note: that last may be an important aspect. When a disk is set up in a physically somewhat insecure setup (disk outside box, firewire, etc as is being contemplated) you should be able to decide if you want the disk to be "movable" or not. (And change that decision later if you want to move it.)

It sounds like a classic case of incorrect cabling or bad cable/termination; or possibly bad memory, or overclocking/overheating. Check your cable; make sure it's tight, make sure you're running _good_ terminators and not violating any specs (did you know the maximum stub length is ~3 inches, and that there's a _minimum_ distance between connectors? (I think it's ~12 inches.)) You are using a good terminator, yes? Are any drives outside the box? Termination at both ends of the bus? Another check may be to use camcontrol to lower the speed or width the SCSI bus is using for transfers. (camcontrol negotiate). NOTE: you can screw things up royally with camcontrol if you don't know what you're doing. Try something like: camcontrol negotiate -v to find out about the device negotiation parameters, and camcontrol negotiate -R 5.0 -a to set the max sync transfer rate to 5MHz (slow). You could add a "-W 8" to limit it to 8-bit-wide transfers. You could even try lower rates. WARNING: you can screw up your filesystems playing with camcontrol - easily. Also, while I know SCSI and CAM, I don't have SCSI on my current FreeBSD system and haven't actually used camcontrol.
