  1. Disk Partition • Booting the operating system • Primary Boot Sector (sector 0) –MBR and Partition Table – allocate the active partition and jump to it’s secondary boot sector • Active Partition – the loader of the OS is in the secondary boot sector – set the OS file system • inactive partition – the secondary boot sector is ignored – additional file system

  2. Disk Formatting and Partitioning • Disk Partitioning • MS-DOS /Linux – fdisk • MS-DOS partitions can mount as separate drives • Linux – one partition for root file system and one for swap file system • Disk Formatting • Setup the partition with the file system structure • MS-DOS format – bootstrap code, FAT, root directory • UNIX mkfs – bootstrap code ,super block , i-nodes

  3. Case Study: UNIX

  4. Case Study: UNIX

  5. Case Study: UNIX

  6. Case Study: UNIX • i-node structure is small , fixed size • Smaller files can be accessed quickly – larger files longer • How big can a file be ? • Assume 1K disk block and 32 bit address • 10Kb + 256 * 1K + 256*256*1K + 256*256*256*1K > 16GB

  7. Case Study: UNIX

  8. Case Study: DOS / Windows

  9. Directory implementation • File name + Extension - 8 + 3 Bytes • Attribute – 1 Byte • Time + Date – 4 Bytes • First Block Number – 2 Bytes • Size – 4 Bytes

  10. Case Study: DOS / Windows

  11. Case Study: Windows NT (2000) -NTFS
