Abstract

See full text

This invention is directed to a method for processing file system service requests in a computer having an attached disk drive that in response to commands from the computer can write data to or read data from disk locations to reproduce stream data and non-stream data. The method comprises the steps of responding to a first file system service request by recording whether the first file system service request is for non-stream data or stream data, associating a first set of disk locations of the disk drive with the first file system service request, and preparing a first command that requires access to the first set of disk locations, the first command including control data categorizing the command as a non-stream access command or as a stream access command in response to the step of recording. The method includes transmitting the first command to the disk drive.
