These patches add the Optimized MPEG Filesystem, a proprietary filesystem used by the embedded devices Rio Karma and ReplayTV, which are no longer manufactured. This filesystem module enables people to access files on these devices. This patch: OMFS is a proprietary filesystem created for the ReplayTV and also used by the Rio Karma. It uses hash tables with unordered, unbounded lists in each bucket for directories, extents for data blocks, 64-bit addressing for blocks, with up to 8K blocks (only 2K of a given block is ever used for metadata, so the FS still works with 4K pages). Document the filesystem usage and structures.

Optimized MPEG Filesystem (OMFS)

Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
OMFS is a filesystem created by SonicBlue for use in the ReplayTV DVR
|
|
and Rio Karma MP3 player. The filesystem is extent-based, utilizing
|
|
block sizes from 2k to 8k, with hash-based directories. This
|
|
filesystem driver may be used to read and write disks from these
|
|
devices.
|
|
|
|
Note, it is not recommended that this FS be used in place of a general
|
|
filesystem for your own streaming media device. Native Linux filesystems
|
|
will likely perform better.

Options
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
OMFS supports the following mount-time options:
|
|
|
|
uid=n - make all files owned by specified user
|
|
gid=n - make all files owned by specified group
|
|
umask=xxx - set permission umask to xxx
|
|
fmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for files
|
|
dmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for directories
|
|
|
|
Disk format
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
OMFS discriminates between "sysblocks" and normal data blocks. The sysblock
|
|
group consists of super block information, file metadata, directory structures,
|
|
and extents. Each sysblock has a header containing CRCs of the entire
|
|
sysblock, and may be mirrored in successive blocks on the disk. A sysblock may
|
|
have a smaller size than a data block, but since they are both addressed by the
|
|
same 64-bit block number, any remaining space in the smaller sysblock is
|
|
unused.
|
|
|
|
Sysblock header information:
|
|
|
|
struct omfs_header {
|
|
__be64 h_self; /* FS block where this is located */
|
|
__be32 h_body_size; /* size of useful data after header */
|
|
__be16 h_crc; /* crc-ccitt of body_size bytes */
|
|
char h_fill1[2];
|
|
u8 h_version; /* version, always 1 */
|
|
char h_type; /* OMFS_INODE_X */
|
|
u8 h_magic; /* OMFS_IMAGIC */
|
|
u8 h_check_xor; /* XOR of header bytes before this */
|
|
__be32 h_fill2;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Files and directories are both represented by omfs_inode:
|
|
|
|
struct omfs_inode {
|
|
struct omfs_header i_head; /* header */
|
|
__be64 i_parent; /* parent containing this inode */
|
|
__be64 i_sibling; /* next inode in hash bucket */
|
|
__be64 i_ctime; /* ctime, in milliseconds */
|
|
char i_fill1[35];
|
|
char i_type; /* OMFS_[DIR,FILE] */
|
|
__be32 i_fill2;
|
|
char i_fill3[64];
|
|
char i_name[OMFS_NAMELEN]; /* filename */
|
|
__be64 i_size; /* size of file, in bytes */
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Directories in OMFS are implemented as a large hash table. Filenames are
|
|
hashed then prepended into the bucket list beginning at OMFS_DIR_START.
|
|
Lookup requires hashing the filename, then seeking across i_sibling pointers
|
|
until a match is found on i_name. Empty buckets are represented by block
|
|
pointers with all-1s (~0).
|
|
|
|
A file is an omfs_inode structure followed by an extent table beginning at
|
|
OMFS_EXTENT_START:
|
|
|
|
struct omfs_extent_entry {
|
|
__be64 e_cluster; /* start location of a set of blocks */
|
|
__be64 e_blocks; /* number of blocks after e_cluster */
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
struct omfs_extent {
|
|
__be64 e_next; /* next extent table location */
|
|
__be32 e_extent_count; /* total # extents in this table */
|
|
__be32 e_fill;
|
|
struct omfs_extent_entry e_entry; /* start of extent entries */
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Each extent holds the block offset followed by number of blocks allocated to
|
|
the extent. The final extent in each table is a terminator with e_cluster
|
|
being ~0 and e_blocks being ones'-complement of the total number of blocks
|
|
in the table.
|
|
|
|
If this table overflows, a continuation inode is written and pointed to by
|
|
e_next. These have a header but lack the rest of the inode structure.
