Systems and method for controlling directory capacities with an accuracy tolerant ratio

A method for controlling directory capacities with an accuracy tolerant ratio, comprising the steps of:

• applying for a capacity;
• linking to a directory;
• checking whether a remaining capacity is greater than or equal to the applied capacity;
• updating an occupied capacity of the directory if the remaining capacity is greater than or equal to the applied capacity;
• checking whether the occupied capacity is greater than an accuracy tolerance of a difference between a report capacity and an allocated capacity;
• updating the report capacity of the directory if the occupied capacity is greater than the accuracy tolerance;
• checking whether the directory is a top directory;
• linking to an upper directory if the directory is not the top directory;
• and updating the allocated capacity of the upper directory.

A method for controlling and managing capacity information of directories in a directory tree of a system, comprising the steps of:

• defining an accuracy tolerance for each of predetermined directories of said directory tree;
• retrieving information of an available update of a file residing in a directory of said predetermined directories of said directory tree;
• updating capacity information of said directory having said file according to said information of said available update;
• reporting to update capacity information of other directories upper than said directory in said directory tree according to said information of said available update when said information of said available update is identifiable to exceed said accuracy tolerance of said directory having said file;
• and
• disregarding said reporting step when said information of said available update is identifiable within said accuracy tolerance of said directory having said file.
