What are Dov files |
|
DOV is an acronym for Data Organization View. These are the file which contain the Directory Organistion which needs to be mounted with the mount command and the file system type as ORION. These File contain an discription of how data is to be organized when the user mounts a particular DOV file.
The DOV file has two parts 1. XML part in which the root element is the Filesystem tag and sub elements as DIR tags. 2. Driver Headers . As we cannot afford to parse XML in the kernel this part of the XML file contains the information to be read by the ORION VIEW core driver to impleament the desired structure in an easy to interpret manner.
Note: The ORION core driver is not all interested in XML part of the DOV file it only reads Header Infomation. So you can store any additional Information in the XML part of the DOV file. The detailed Discription of the each part of the DOV file is explained in the further section. |
