A file management method in a file system and a metadata server therefor are provided. The file management method in a file system includes: generating first metadata and a first object having an identical first identifier with respect to a first file; and finding second metadata and a second object corresponding to a second file desired to be found among a plurality of generated files, by using a second identifier, and if the second metadata and the second object are found, opening the second file.

A cache coherency maintenance system and method of a user file manager in an object-based storage system are provided. According to the cache coherence maintenance system and method, by maintaining the coherency of a writeback cache based on time using a timer, metadata and data information are efficiently managed. Accordingly, even when accesses by users increase, the cost of maintaining the coherency of the cache is distributed to respective user file managers. In this way the performance of the entire object-based storage system is enhanced and the consistency and efficiency of information increase.

Provided are a microprocessor suitable for constructing a multi-processor system and a method for controlling the reset and processor ID of the microprocessor. The microprocessor includes decoder receiving a reset ID having a predetermined binary value and a reset signal and decoding the reset ID, an ID generator receiving the decoding result of the decoder and generating at least one microprocessor ID and a reset ID of a microprocessor serially connected to the microprocessor, and a reset vector unit selecting a reset vector according to the decoding result of the decoder. The multi-processor system is constructed such that independent microprocessors of the system respectively generate their own reset vectors and processor IDs when a reset signal is input to the multi-processor system to initialize it. Thus, all the microprocessors of the system can be simultaneously started up when the reset signal is disabled. Accordingly, a resetting process in the multi-processor system is simplified, a period of time required for starting up the microprocessor is reduced, and the multi-processor system is easily designed.

The present invention relates to an efficient snapshot technique based on a mapping for a large logical volume shared in multiple hosts. According to the present invention, problems of time delays in a conventional snapshot technique is solved by employing a FAB and an SSB, which are bits representing whether a COW operation is carried out to a mapping entry. In other words, the present invention solves the problems of delaying a write operation of corresponding volume, which is simultaneously executed when a snapshot is created, until the snapshot creation is completed. Further, in the write operation carried out after the snapshot creation, an operation of determining whether the COW operation is carried out is achieved by reading only an original mapping block by using the FAB and the SSB, without reading out the snapshot mapping block. Therefore, an additional disk access operation is decreased when carrying out a write operation to the volume in which the snapshot exists, thereby improving the performance of operation. Furthermore, in a snapshot destruction operation, the operation of determining whether the COW operation is carried out or not can be achieved without access to the snapshot mapping block, thereby preventing the degradation of performance. In case there is at least one snapshot, the determination operation can be achieved by an access to the original mapping block. Consequently, constant performance is always provided without the number of the snapshots.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag based object position tracking apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes a position recognizer including at least one radio frequency identification unit for reading information data on an object through a sensor; and a path analyzing and processing unit for allocating each unique coordinates to the radio frequency identification units based on a relative position in a space where a position recognizer is disposed and recognizing the position of the object and analyzing the path based on the object information data received by the sensor in the radio frequency identification unit corresponding to the unique coordinate. Thus, it is possible to track the path of an object with a low density of RFID tags.
