Abstract

The design of Flash File system YAFFS aims at dealing with problems at start time, memory consumption and wear balance etc. It cannot manage great amount of complex, structural and semi-structural data. The key reason for these points exists in the fact that YAFFS file system treats data as bit stream without semantics. And YAFFS file system uses special applications to operate the inner structures and contents of files, which finally put the control of file to a bad grain level. We propose a structure-based XML storage method in YAFFS file system. The experiment on embedded Linux proved that, with our method, the XML structure-based information can be stored and managed effectively.
