This study proposes a method to manipulate fragmentation of disks by arbitrarily allocating and releasing the status of a disk cluster in the NTFS file system. This method allows experiments to be performed in several studies related to fragmentation problems on disk cluster. Typical applicable research examples include testing the performance of disk defragmentation tools according to the state of fragmentation, establishing an experimental environment for fragmented file carving methods for digital forensics, setting up cluster fragmentation for testing the robustness of data hiding methods within directory indexes, and testing the file system's disk allocation methods according to the various version of Windows. This method suggests how a single file occupies a cluster and presents an algorithm with a flowchart. It raises three tricky problems to solve the method, and we propose solutions to the problems. Experiments for allocating the disk cluster to be fragmented to the maximum extent possible, it then performs a disk defragmentation experiment to prove the proposed method is effective.

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.

이 논문에서는 NTFS 파일시스템에서 여러 개의 클러스터에 걸쳐서 슬랙 영역에 데이터 숨기기를 수행하는 데이터 숨기기 방법의 강인성을 조사하기 위하여 디스크 조각모음 실험을 수행할 때 필요한 방법을 제안한다. 디스크 조각모음의 실행으로 클러스터의 위치가 변동되기 위해서는 여러 클러스터에 걸친 디스크 조각의 단편화가 일어날 수 있도록 파일을 생성하고 삭제하는 작업을 수행한다. 그 후에 용량이 큰 파일을 복사하여 여러 클러스터에 걸친 단편화된 파일을 작위적으로 생성한다. 단편화된 파일만을 남기고 그 이외의 다른 파일들을 삭제한 후에 디스크조각 모음을 수행한다. 이 실험에 필요한 준비과정과 실험과정을 제안한다.

Three noise sources are come from note PC system; HDD, System Cooling Fan and ODD. Except HDD, user can accept as an acceptable operating noise. System Fan needs to cooling down the CPU and Chipset and ODD only works when it need to work, therefore user thinks these two noise sources are necessary. For the HDD, some times it makes noise without user HDD access action such as re-organizing cache and defragmentation, user can hardly accept this noise. At the circumstance like as library and the room at the dawn, user can recognize the noise easily so that makes dissatisfaction. I'm studying algorithm and method to reduce HDD noise for user satisfaction.
