Technical Review The disk drivers of the operating system convert the cylinder, sector, and read head numbers used by floppy disks and hard disks from the disk surface into a linear, zero-up-growing number, referred to by MS-DOS terminology as the (logical) sector.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Each sector is 512 bytes.

Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The root directory size of FAT12 and FAT16 is fixed and depends on the size of the hard drive, and there are no more than 512 records, the larger quantities that can break compatibility.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

In the first version of FAT (FAT12) used by MS-DOS, the table had a maximum of 4096 (212) values indicating blocks of 512 bytes.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

This yielded the partition's largest addressable size of 212×512 bytes (or actually 4086×512 bytes), compared to 160 kB for a 5¼” floppy disk size.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Each index in FAT12 is 1.5 bytes.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

You can conveniently browse them with integer operations by dividing the index by two, multiplying by three, retrieving the word, and if the index was odd, moving the number four bits to the right.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The first version of MS-DOS did not support subdirectories, and a fixed amount of space was allocated to the root directory.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

MS-DOS 2.0 was released in March 1982 with a PC XT machine with a 10 MB hard drive.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

In that version of the operating system, the concept of sector and block was separated.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The machine's hard drive now had 4 kB blocks.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The file system allowed access to a maximum 16 MB hard drive.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

In 1984, in connection with a PC AT machine with a 20 MB hard drive, MS-DOS 3.0 was released.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

With it, FAT16 was introduced, which extended FAT to use 16-bit block numbers and allowed 65,517 blocks.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

However, the maximum allowable number of sectors by partition was not increased, limiting the partition size to 32 MB.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

In November 1987, Compaq DOS 3.31 was released, increasing the largest number of sectors to 232 copies (DOS 3.31 Large File System).


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

It did not significantly alter the file system, but led to significant changes in DOS, which had to use 32-bit numbers.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The change was moderately large because DOS was written in 16-bit assembly.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

To Microsoft's MS-DOS, this change came in version 4.0.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The largest block size was 64 sectors (32 kB), limiting the size of FAT16 in future DOS and Windows versions to 2 gigabytes.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Windows NT 4.0 also supported 64 kB blocks with doubling the maximum size of the file system.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

However, the larger block size caused compatibility issues with programs using 16-bit numbers.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

With the OSR2 update version of Windows 95 and Windows 98, FAT32 came into use, extending FAT's dragon theory to 228 (0x0FFFFF) and the file system size to 228×32 kB (with a 32-kB block size).


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Despite its name, FAT32 uses block numbers of up to 28-bit.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

This does not affect the maximum size of the file system, which is limited by the number of sectors limitation 232.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

The maximum file size is still 232−1 bytes, because the file size is stored in four bytes in the directory.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Long file names (LFN or VFAT) have been saved by hacking them into more directory records.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

These are marked with a directory as partition name, so MS-DOS ignores them.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

A single directory record yields 13 UTF-16 characters (26 bytes) stored after the first without breaking compatibility.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

These extra records can be chained to 20 tracks, yielding a recorded 255 characters.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

VFAT also stores more detailed information about the file, such as the date of change and the last reading date.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

In addition, one more byte is allocated for the creation date, which allows 10ms accuracy instead of two seconds.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Restrictions In FAT, the list of blocks that make up a file is stored as a linked list.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

It takes time O (n) to go through this data structure.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Also, going through a directory is a linear operation.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

A particularly heavy operation is the determination of the blank space of the file system, to do which you need to read through the entire FAT.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Information about the amount of whitespace is not stored anywhere in the file system.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

History In 1996, Microsoft was granted a patent for the FAT file system.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

In 2006, Microsoft began charging royalties by selling Transclusion error: {{En}} is only for use in File namespace.


Question: When was EXFAT developed?

FAT

Use {{lang-en}} or {{en icon}} instead..
