<h1 class="topictitle1">High Performance Optical File System</h1>
|
||
|
<div><p>High performance optical file system (HPOFS) is an IBM-developed
|
||
|
media format architecture available to use when initializing optical media
|
||
|
on the i5/OS™.</p>
|
||
|
<p>i5/OS uses
|
||
|
the WORM-based version of HPOFS. This media format is designed (and required)
|
||
|
for WORM media, but you can use it (and it is the default) when initializing
|
||
|
erasable optical media. HPOFS is a WORM media format. You can write each sector
|
||
|
of the media only once when creating and updating files and directories. This
|
||
|
unique characteristic of never rewriting the same sector allows all previous
|
||
|
versions of every file to remain on the media. One drawback of this is that
|
||
|
media consumption continues to grow as you update and even delete files. </p>
|
||
|
<p>This section contains detailed information on the i5/OS implementation of HPOFS for directly-attached
|
||
|
optical media libraries. This section does not address HPOFS characteristics
|
||
|
for LAN-attached optical media libraries.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Detailed information on the i5/OS implementation of HPOFS for directly
|
||
|
attached optical media libraries is available in the CL command support for
|
||
|
media formats.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4hpofsvoldirfile.htm">Volume, directory, and file names for HPOFS</a></strong><br />
|
||

HPOFS volume identifiers can be a maximum of 32 characters and must contain only alphabetic characters (A through Z), numeric characters (0 through 9), a hyphen (-), or a period (.).</li>

You can update or delete files even though HPOFS is a write-once read-many (WORM) media format.</li>
|
||
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4hpofsproginter.htm">Programming interfaces (HPOFS)</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
You can create or read files on HPOFS media by using either the Hierarchical File System (HFS) application programming interface (API) or the integrated file system application programming interface (API).</li>
|
||
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzam4hpofsdirstructperf.htm">Directory structure and performance (HPOFS)</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
HPOFS volumes have a dual directory structure to access files. Both a hash and hierarchical structure exist to provide a primary and secondary path to the file data. If the primary directory structure becomes damaged, the secondary path is used.</li>
