|
+Overview
|
|
|
+========
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+OMFS is a filesystem created by SonicBlue for use in the ReplayTV DVR
|
|
|
+and Rio Karma MP3 player. The filesystem is extent-based, utilizing
|
|
|
+block sizes from 2k to 8k, with hash-based directories. This
|
|
|
+filesystem driver may be used to read and write disks from these
|
|
|
+devices.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Note, it is not recommended that this FS be used in place of a general
|
|
|
+filesystem for your own streaming media device. Native Linux filesystems
|
|
|
+will likely perform better.

|
+Options
|
|
|
+=======
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+OMFS supports the following mount-time options:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ uid=n - make all files owned by specified user
|
|
|
+ gid=n - make all files owned by specified group
|
|
|
+ umask=xxx - set permission umask to xxx
|
|
|
+ fmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for files
|
|
|
+ dmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for directories
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Disk format
|
|
|
+===========
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+OMFS discriminates between "sysblocks" and normal data blocks. The sysblock
|
|
|
+group consists of super block information, file metadata, directory structures,
|
|
|
+and extents. Each sysblock has a header containing CRCs of the entire
|
|
|
+sysblock, and may be mirrored in successive blocks on the disk. A sysblock may
|
|
|
+have a smaller size than a data block, but since they are both addressed by the
|
|
|
+same 64-bit block number, any remaining space in the smaller sysblock is
|
|
|
+unused.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Sysblock header information:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+struct omfs_header {
|
|
|
+ __be64 h_self; /* FS block where this is located */
|
|
|
+ __be32 h_body_size; /* size of useful data after header */
|
|
|
+ __be16 h_crc; /* crc-ccitt of body_size bytes */
|
|
|
+ char h_fill1[2];
|
|
|
+ u8 h_version; /* version, always 1 */
|
|
|
+ char h_type; /* OMFS_INODE_X */
|
|
|
+ u8 h_magic; /* OMFS_IMAGIC */
|
|
|
+ u8 h_check_xor; /* XOR of header bytes before this */
|
|
|
+ __be32 h_fill2;
|
|
|
+};
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Files and directories are both represented by omfs_inode:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+struct omfs_inode {
|
|
|
+ struct omfs_header i_head; /* header */
|
|
|
+ __be64 i_parent; /* parent containing this inode */
|
|
|
+ __be64 i_sibling; /* next inode in hash bucket */
|
|
|
+ __be64 i_ctime; /* ctime, in milliseconds */
|
|
|
+ char i_fill1[35];
|
|
|
+ char i_type; /* OMFS_[DIR,FILE] */
|
|
|
+ __be32 i_fill2;
|
|
|
+ char i_fill3[64];
|
|
|
+ char i_name[OMFS_NAMELEN]; /* filename */
|
|
|
+ __be64 i_size; /* size of file, in bytes */
|
|
|
+};
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Directories in OMFS are implemented as a large hash table. Filenames are
|
|
|
+hashed then prepended into the bucket list beginning at OMFS_DIR_START.
|
|
|
+Lookup requires hashing the filename, then seeking across i_sibling pointers
|
|
|
+until a match is found on i_name. Empty buckets are represented by block
|
|
|
+pointers with all-1s (~0).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A file is an omfs_inode structure followed by an extent table beginning at
|
|
|
+OMFS_EXTENT_START:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+struct omfs_extent_entry {
|
|
|
+ __be64 e_cluster; /* start location of a set of blocks */
|
|
|
+ __be64 e_blocks; /* number of blocks after e_cluster */
|
|
|
+};
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+struct omfs_extent {
|
|
|
+ __be64 e_next; /* next extent table location */
|
|
|
+ __be32 e_extent_count; /* total # extents in this table */
|
|
|
+ __be32 e_fill;
|
|
|
+ struct omfs_extent_entry e_entry; /* start of extent entries */
|
|
|
+};
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Each extent holds the block offset followed by number of blocks allocated to
|
|
|
+the extent. The final extent in each table is a terminator with e_cluster
|
|
|
+being ~0 and e_blocks being ones'-complement of the total number of blocks
|
|
|
+in the table.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If this table overflows, a continuation inode is written and pointed to by
|
|
|
+e_next. These have a header but lack the rest of the inode structure.
