ABSTRACT:
Enhancements to the functionality of a file system are provided. A file system can provide an additional level of error correction, in addition to the error correction provided by a data storage device. An extension to the metadata area in a file system can store index information about data files that the file system can use to reduce the time it takes to access the files. A file system can use extended metadata to store conditional access information for data files stored in the file system. A data storage device can also examine and characterize the data being stored in order to categorize a user's files automatically. Modules can be loaded into a file system to provide new functionality to the file system. The modules can load additional modules to extend their functionality.
