Embodiment
About feature of the present invention and example, be described in detail as follows as most preferred embodiment in this conjunction with figs..
Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 to Fig. 4, wherein Fig. 1 is that hard disk stores synoptic diagram in the method for testing hard disk with expandable firmware interface of the present invention, and Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 is the method flow diagram of method for testing hard disk with expandable firmware interface of the present invention.
Please refer to Fig. 2, at first obtain the system file of Extensible Firmware Interface system, with generation system file chained list (step 102).System file is defined as, when the Extensible Firmware Interface system moves, need set up the environment that the Extensible Firmware Interface program can be moved, comprise the driver of visiting various device, configuration file when system moves, necessary when these files are system's operation, can not damage to some extent, otherwise total system will be collapsed.Mention as background technology, under the test environment of Extensible Firmware Interface,, then can cause the collapse of system as if system file in the direct read hard disk owing to there be not the protection of existence to system file.Therefore, the present invention here protects these system files, and system file is backed up in the storer.When the standby system file, take file backup and case of non-partitioned backup, reducing the waste of backup space, and the difficulty when reducing file and recovering.
Obtain the relevant information of hard disk by the scanning hard disk, and then know the system file type that has on the hard disk, and the occupied area.According to these capture files size and store the path, form a file chained list and store separately information, and calculate the required storage space of store files with this.Then, distribute the respective memory space, with the storage system file to wherein (step 104).Please refer to embodiment shown in Figure 1, has a system file storage area 12 in the storer 10, the content full backup of the system file 22 in hard disk 20 is after the system file storage area 12 of storer, and the storer storage area 12 of image system file is concrete hard disk (step 106).After treating that system testing finishes, this partial content can be returned in the hard disk again.
For the nonsystematic file of hard disk test, then in storer, set up a nonsystematic document storage zone 14 (steps 108), in order to deposit the test nonsystematic file 16 that backs up in the storer.Nonsystematic file 24 is protected some system journals, aid and diagnostic routine etc. for the remaining paper outside the system file of removing the operation of Extensible Firmware Interface system.The nonsystematic file disperses to deposit in other subregion of hard disk, and it occupies than large space, if storage system file 22 is very difficult with nonsystematic file 24 to storer 10 simultaneously.Therefore mark off a part of storage space, promptly nonsystematic document storage zone 14 only just backs up to wherein when these files of needs test as the storage area of nonsystematic file 24.In addition,, can also in nonsystematic document storage zone 14, set in advance a part and reserve storer 18, the problem of insufficient space occur to prevent later visit for the storage of information after guaranteeing.
After the backup-step of finishing said system file and nonsystematic file, then can carry out the test of hard disk.Judge during test whether hard disk has tested finish (step 110), if then finish, otherwise, obtain the nonsystematic fileinfo of hard disk test block, and generate nonsystematic file chained list (step 112).This part nonsystematic file is read in to the nonsystematic document storage zone (step 114), and backed up to zone (step 116) in the storer on the testing hard disk.When test, can judge further in the nonsystematic document storage zone whether journal file (step 118) is arranged.If exist, the storing memory zone of then setting the daily record part is for can write (step 120); Otherwise, directly move test procedure (step 122).
Then, judge whether to read the file (step 124) in the hard disk, if need then further to judge whether to need in the hard disk file of test to back up in storer (step 126); Otherwise, advance to step 132.If file has backed up in storer, then in storer, load required file (step 128); Otherwise, in hard disk, load required file (step 130).When the file of pseudostatic ram,, can write down current storage situation by to being stored in the dynamic link table that forms when system file in the storer and non-file system conduct interviews.When certain file of visit, at first visit this system file chained list or nonsystematic file chained list, if file logging in above-mentioned chained list, shows that then this file is stored in the storer.Therefore, do not need during visit from hard disk, to read, but directly in storer, load this file, and then accelerated the speed of test.
In addition, in order to prevent that vital document has been carried out faulty operation, need protect, and then the backup zone of file is set at read only attribute these files.When carrying out the operation of backup content to storer,, at first judge and set whether write-protect of attribute in order to protect content measurement.If there is not respective limits just can carry out write operation to this zone.Simultaneously, cross the border, cause the recovery that hard disk can not be complete when test is finished, the decision operation zone whether to cross the border, and the storage space that breaks bounds is expanded in order to prevent operating area.For example, when journal file is stored, need to judge whether the journal file (step 132) in the read-write memory,, then advance to step 144 if do not need; Otherwise, judge then whether the storing memory zone of journal file is writable area territory (step 134).If can not write, then system reports an error and withdraws from and finish; If can write, journal file can increase along with the increase that writes content, needs when content increases therefore further to judge whether the daily record storage area has reached the border (step 136) in backup zone.If, judge then then whether the backup zone of nonsystematic file exceeds the maximal value (step 138) that system storage allows, if do not exceed the maximal value of storer, then (step 140) expanded in the backup zone of nonsystematic file.Storage expansion can adopt progressive mode, for example, in order to consider neither to waste system memory resources, can expand backup zone again well, and can set the storer that each expansion occupies is the 1M byte.In other words, in this case, after the backup field capacity of nonsystematic file increases the 1M byte, judge again whether the backup zone surpasses the maximal value of system storage.If exceed, reporting errors then; Otherwise, the 1M byte is expanded in nonsystematic file backup zone.
After expanding the backup zone, write log file contents and preserve (step 142).Whether the hard disk areas that needs in the test process to judge backup tests finish (step 144), if hard disk test finishes, then finishes.If test does not finish, then continue operation test procedure (step 146), and repeating step 122 is to step 144.Simultaneously, after the test of finishing the hard disk block areas, need reload new test file to the nonsystematic file backup zone of storer, and the file that backs up in the storer is reduced in the hard disk.And when loading new file, upgrade nonsystematic file chained list according to new fileinfo and write down these fileinfos.It is pointed out that journal file only is the embodiment of nonsystematic file in the above-mentioned steps, the present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, and the various nonsystematic files that comprise journal file are all carried out above-mentioned corresponding steps, carry out file protection and storage expansion.
Though the present invention discloses as above with aforesaid better embodiment, so it is not in order to limit the present invention.Those skilled in the art should recognize that change of being done and modification all belong within protection scope of the present invention under the situation of the scope and spirit of the present invention that do not break away from appending claims of the present invention and disclosed.Please refer to appending claims about the protection domain that the present invention defined.
