Introduction to V2_FS
The V2_FS is the native FileSystem of V2_OS. It is
designed and optimized especially for fast hard diskaccess, which is very usefull for, for
example, a digital audio/videoplayer/mixer. It does not, as most other filesystems, have
facilities like file-attributes for r/w access, dynamic directory structures,
file-protection against unauthorized users, etc. Instead, it has the following features
that make sure that videodata is accessed at it's highest possible speed:
-No defragmentation.
-Videoframes are stored sector-aligned, for faster loading to
disk/decompression-buffers
-All data is stored sequentially, this eliminates the need for the physical
disk-heads to jump and search around.
-Special structures are included to give fast access to frames in random order, not
just sequentially.
-Almost NO slack !
Tools to work with V2_FS from dos/windows are already available in the 'Download
Corner'. Tools for Linux are still under construction.
The V2_OS's 'native' filesystem is V2_FS, so it does not require any tools.
