Existing techniques for defragmentation of the file system need intensive disk operation for some periods at specific time such as disk defragmentation program. In this paper, for solving this problem, we design and implement the automatic and continuous defragmentation free system by distributing the disk operation. We propose the Automatic Layout Scoring(ALS) mechanism for measuring defragmentation degree and suggest the Lazy Copy mechanism that copies the defragmented data at idle time for scattering the disk operation. We search the defragmented file by Automatic Layout Scoring mechanism and then find for empty spaces for that searched file. After lazy copy of searched fils to empty space for preventing that file from being lost, the algorithm solves the defragmentation problem by updating the I-node of that file. We implement these algorithms in Linux and evaluate them for small and defragmented file to get the layout scoring. We outperform the Linux EXT2 file system by $2.4%{\sim}10.4%$ in layout scoring evaluation. And the performance of read and write for various file size is better than the EXT2 by $1%{\sim}8.5%$ for write performance and by $1.2%{\sim}7.5%$ for read performance. We suggest this system for solving the problem of defragmentation automatically without disturbing the I/O task and manual management.

Recently, LINUX cluster file systems based on the storage area network (SAN) have been developed. In those systems, without using a central file server, multiple clients sharing the whole disk storage through Fibre Channel can freely access disk storage and act as file servers. Accordingly, they can offer advantages such as availability, load balancing, and scalability. In this paper, we describe metadata management schemes designed for a new SAN-based LINUX cluster file system. First, we present a new inode structure which is better than previous ones in disk block access time. Second, a new directory structure which uses extendible hashing is described. Third, we describe a novel scheme to manage free disk blocks, which is suitable for very large file systems. Finally, we present how we handle metadata journaling. Through performance evaluation, we show that our proposed schemes have better performance than previous ones.

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, using the Linux operating system in various architectures has increased. Also, security threats against Linux-based IoT devices are increasing, and malware variants based on existing malware are constantly appearing. In this paper, we propose a system where the binary data of a visualized Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) file is applied to Local Binary Pattern (LBP) image processing techniques and a median filter to classify malware in a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). As a result, the original image showed the highest accuracy and F1-score at 98.77%, and reproducibility also showed the highest score at 98.55%. For the median filter, the highest precision was 99.19%, and the lowest false positive rate was 0.008%. Using the LBP technique confirmed that the overall result was lower than putting the original ELF file through the median filter. When the results of putting the original file through image processing techniques were classified by majority, it was confirmed that the accuracy, precision, F1-score, and false positive rate were better than putting the original file through the median filter. In the future, the proposed system will be used to classify malware families or add other image processing techniques to improve the accuracy of majority vote classification. Or maybe we mean "the use of Linux O/S distributions for various architectures has increased" instead? If not, please rephrase as intended.

There are many file systems in various operating systems. Those are usually designed for server environments, where the common cases are usually 'multiple active users', 'great many small files' And they assume a big main memory to be used as buffer cache. So the existing file systems are not suitable for resource hungry embedded systems that process multimedia data streams. In this study, we designed and implemented a new file system which efficiently stores and retrieves multimedia data steams. The proposed file system has a very simple disk layout, which guarantees a quick disk initialization and file system recovery. And we introduced a new indexing-scheme, called the time-based indexing scheme, with the file system. With the indexing scheme, the file system maintains the relation between time and the location for all the multimedia streams. The scheme is useful in searching and playing the compressed multimedia streams by locating exact frame position with given time, resulting in reduction of CPU processing and power consumption. The proposed file system and its APIs utilizing the time-based indexing schemes were implemented firstly on a Linux environment, though it is operating system independent. In the performance evaluation on a real DVR system, which measured the execution time of multi-threaded reading and writing, we found the proposed file system is maximum 38.7% faster than EXT2 file system.

Linux has peculiarities of safety, flexibility, and open source. and Linux supports various hardware platforms. But because general Linux was designed for high performance H/W, Linux has several points to support for embedded system with limited resource. Specially, a main point is booting time that is spent to tens of second. In this paper, we purpose a fast booting scheme of Linux for Embedded System and estimate a performance of scheme purposed through realized prototype. Specially, to reduce booting time in environment of embedded system, we optimize boot loader, kernel and root file system. As a result, boot time reduce 28 second to 11 second in HBE-EMPOS II.

In this paper, we describe the issues associated with implementing embedded Linux system. As an example of embedded system, a router which utilizes the powerful networking capability of Linux is implemented and the details of porting Linux to the dedicated hardware is discussed. Several efficient methods to avoid performance degradation resulted from porting lap top computer oriented Linux to embedded system are suggested. To verify the eligibility of the method to embed Linux into standalone system and to see the performance of the implemented router, comparison data with one of the most popular routers is presented.

Open operating system, Linux is the traditional Web, E-mail, DNS, FTP server, as well as being used in Cloud and Big data infrastructure. In addition, Linux is also used like a desktop or mobile devices, smart TV and cars. In particular, stepping up to the IoT era at this time is expected to be greater proportion occupied by Linux. As the use of Linux has increased security has emerged as an important factor. User management is core of Linux system security. In this paper, Classifying Linux user and analyzed the role of the user-specific file. Finally, we analyzed the linux management technologies and useful user security tools.

Because the log information provides some critical clues for solving the problem of illegal system access, it is very important for a system administrator to gather and analyze the log data. In a Linux system, the syslog utility has been used to gather various kinds of log data. Unfortunately, there is a limitation that a system administrator should rely on the services only provided by the syslog utility. To overcome this limitation, this paper suggests a syslog agent that allows the system administrator to gather log information for file access that is not serviced by syslog utility. The basic concept of the suggested syslog agent is that after creating a FUSE, it stores the accessed information of the files under the directory on which FUSE has been mounted into the log file via syslog utility. To review its functional validity, a FUSE file system was implemented on Linux (Ubunt 14.04), and the log information of a file access was collected and confirmed.

In this paper, we developed the scheme to grow to use newly added disk space without having to kill the application, unmount file system. This scheme, called online resizing, can resize the file system layout with the advent of Logical Volume Manager. The online resizing scheme is designed and implemented in linux cluster system where multiple hosts share the disk data in storage area network environment. It is incorporated with SANfs shared file system and can perform resizing technique with SANfs-VM volume manager. The experimental result shows that it can maximize the availability and capacity of the SANfs system which are important for modem servers where must not lose their customer.
