    摘要: Enhancements to the functionality of a file system are provided. A file system can provide an additional level of error correction, in addition to the error correction provided by a data storage device. An extension to the metadata area in a file system can store index information about data files that the file system can use to reduce the time it takes to access the files. A file system can use extended metadata to store conditional access information for data files stored in the file system. A data storage device can also examine and characterize the data being stored in order to categorize a user's files automatically. Modules can be loaded into a file system to provide new functionality to the file system. The modules can load additional modules to extend their functionality.

    摘要: A verifiable security mode is provided for securing data on a storage device, such as a hard disk drive. When the verifiable security mode is enabled, only authenticated accesses to data stored on the storage device are permitted after entering a password. An end user is prevented from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be set to allow or disallow an administrator from disabling the verifiable security mode. The verifiable security mode can be implemented, for example, in firmware on a hard disk drive (HDD).

    摘要: The invention is a storage device which implements a write barrier command and provides means for a host to designate other write commands as being sensitive or insensitive to the existence of write barrier commands. The device can optimize the execution of commands by changing the order of execution of write commands that are insensitive to write barrier command. In an embodiment of the invention a flag associated with the write command indicates whether the command is sensitive or insensitive to the existence of write barrier commands. In an embodiment of the invention the write barrier command can be implemented as a write command with a flag that indicates whether the command is a write barrier command. In one embodiment of the invention the queue of commands and data to be written to the media is stored in a non-volatile cache.

    摘要: Digital watermark data is embedded into compressed media content that is transmarked when the compressed media content is converted to an analog format or into an uncompressed digital format. The watermark data uniquely identifies the converter/player device/user that converted the watermark-protected digital media content into the analog format or the uncompressed digital format. The presented media content in the analog format or the uncompressed digital format is modified as a function of the watermark data and the digital signature obtained from the converter/player device/user. The modifications are visible and essentially produce a correspondingly different media presentation for each converter/player device/user. The modifications, however, are selected so that they are nonessential to the storyline and, consequently, not noticed by a casual user.

    摘要: This invention is a Viterbi algorithm combined with the use of error filters outputs to produce bit reliabilities. The present invention is a SOVA-like method using error filters to reduce the complexity of bit reliability determination further than that of the ordinary SOVA method. Error patterns corresponding to each of a handful of dominant i.e., most common error patterns are determined from experimental data. Error filters determine likelihoods of each postulated error pattern. These likelihoods are then combined to produce bit reliabilities that may be passed on to an outer error correction decoder. The filters, typically six or seven of them, resolve most of the errors thereby simplifying computation dramatically.

    摘要: A method is described for allowing disk drives, such as shingle-written magnetic recording (SMR) drives, to be shipped for customer use with portions of the magnetic media being left untested. The testing is then completed by the drive self-testing in the field. The drive is made functional at the factory by fully testing at least one operational set of regions including an I-region, an E-region and a write cache region. The operational set of regions works as a separate self-contained virtual disk drive and can be used immediately. The remaining untested areas on the media can be tested in the field by a background task and/or when the first write command is received that requires a new track or operational set of regions (on-the fly testing).

    摘要: In a HDD, the flush queue (cache) command is transformed into a memory barrier command. The HDD thus has an operation mode in which flush commands do not cause the pending commands to be executed immediately, but instead simply introduces a constraint on the command reordering algorithms that prevents commands sent after the flush command from being executed before commands sent prior to the flush command. The constraint may be applied only on write commands.

    摘要翻译: 在HDD中,刷新队列(高速缓存)命令被转换为存储障碍命令。 因此,HDD具有操作模式,其中flush命令不会立即执行待命命令,而是简单地引入对命令重排序算法的约束,该命令重排序算法防止在刷新命令之前发送的命令在执行之前发送的命令之前执行 flush命令。 约束可以仅适用于写入命令。
