3.3.5 The IFS buffer (incremental file system)
With iXOS-JUKEMAN you can write a disk incrementally. After initializa-
tion you can copy or move files to a disk as easily as you would move
them to your hard disk. The only difference is that you have to flush the
IFS buffer to actually burn the buffered files to disk.
Note that you require a valid license key if the writer is to burn more than
128 MB to a disk.
To enable incremental writing, iXOS-JUKEMAN needs a global file system
buffer on the hard disk. As soon as the buffer is configured, files can be
copied to the disks. The buffer is configured by setting its size and the
maximum number of files (“inodes”), that can be stored in the buffer.
To determine the correct buffer size and number of inodes, keep in mind
that each file or directory on an unfinished disk requires an inode and that
the size should be sufficient to buffer all data you plan to transfer via the
buffer.
Be sure to finalize all incrementally written CDs before you change the
size of the incremental file system buffer (see “How to write disks incre-
mentally” on page 156). Otherwise those CDs will be of no use.
As an alternative to a single IFS buffer iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 supports
several independent IFS buffers. See “IFS with several independent
buffers” on page 243.
