Abstract
A method of evaluating effectiveness of usage of a file system by a plurality of files, comprising calculating a ratio A:S, wherein A is the sum of results of a function carried out in respect of each of the files, the result of the function in respect of a file being dependent on at least two properties of the file including the size of the file; and wherein S is the total size of the files.
Claims24
A method of evaluating effectiveness of usage of a file system by a plurality of files, the method comprising;
- calculating an index value, wherein calculating the index value comprises:
- calculating a numerical value of the ratio A:S, wherein A is the sum of results of a function carried out in respect of each of the files, the result of the function in respect of a file being dependent on at least two properties of the file including the size of the file;
- and wherein S is the total size of the files;
- determining, based on the calculated index value, file system operations to increase the index value of the plurality of files;
- and
- performing the determined file system operations.
A system for evaluating effectiveness of usage of a file system by a plurality of files, the system comprising:
- a processing resource in communication with a computer readable medium, wherein the computer readable medium contains a set of instructions and wherein the processing resource is designed to early out the set of instructions to:
- calculate an index value, wherein the index value comprises a calculated numerical value of the ratio A:S, wherein A is the sum of results of a function carried out in respect of each of the files, the result of the function in respect of a file being dependent on at least two properties of the file including the size of the file and wherein S is the total size of the files;
- and
- determine, based on the calculated index value, file system operations to increase the index value of the plurality of files;
- and
- performing the determined file system operations.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions, when executed, for evaluating effectiveness of usage of a file system by a plurality of files, said instructions comprising instructions for:
- calculating an index value, wherein calculating the index value comprises:
- calculating a numerical value of the ratio A:S, wherein A is the sum of results of a function carried out in respect of each of the files, the result of the function in respect of a file being dependent on at least two properties of the file including the size of the file and wherein S is the total size of the files;
- determining, based on the calculated index value, file system operations to increase the index value of the plurality of files;
- and
- performing the determined file system operations.
