New for 2015, Vault--co-located with the Linux Storage, Filesystem and MM Summit--will tap into the expertise of developers leading file system and storage innovations in a general technical conference setting open to everyone.

[115] presented a novel approach to hide data in a deniable way (to use plausible deniability) by storing sensitive data on a cluster based filesystem; to do so, a covert channel encodes the data via altering the fragmentation pattern in the cluster distribution of the secret file.

Disk Image Backup/Recovery: Pros and Cons Pros Cons * Faster backup when disk or * Can take longer to read individual filesystems contain free space files from a full filesystem than * Backup can be restored to image backup different disk types, sizes and * Depending on the utility, locations reconfiguration to new hardware * Faster system I/O after a may be complex recovery since all files are * Takes longer to restore files de-fragmented and directories * Selective restore of individual files and directories without complete recovery Table 3.

The new Proofpoint Enterprise Data Connector(TM) allows the Proofpoint Digital Asset Security module to easily integrate with filesystems, databases, content management, version control systems and other external applications to enable automatic indexing of new or modified confidential information.

XFS 1.0 for Linux works with the Linux 2.4 kernel and offers unique advantages that other filesystems do not, including the following:

The new version is designed to work in network environments and offers features such as multicast operation to roll out multiple PCs simultaneously, support for all commercial filesystems and Windows 95/98 executables.

Centralized storage networks using Fibre Channel and common filesystems (GFS, Transoft, Mountain Gate etc.)

Centrifuge extracts the complete root filesystems within the firmware images, deconstructs each file down to the bytecode level and provides reporting on vulnerable functions calls.

Hardware backdoors are lethal for three reasons: a) They can't be removed by conventional means (antivirus, formatting); b) They can circumvent other types of security (passwords, encrypted filesystems); and c) They can be injected at manufacturing time.

Beginning with an overview of security threats in Linux environments, the volume addresses such topics as basic layered security, users and permissions, filesystems, networks and firewalls, networked filesystems and remote access, kernel security, and encryption.

Filesystems developed over the last 15 to 20 years such as AFS attempted to solve the WAN file-sharing problem using a distributed filesystem architecture which unites disparate file servers at remote offices into a single logical filesystem.

Long Twig cache directories can cause failures on some filesystems shortens directories to a predictable length, prevents installs to directories that are too deep, and warns on existing and moved sites where the files directory is too deep.

Another interesting feature of ownCloud, which is currently in its experimental stages, is support for ?Mounting of external Filesystems?.

Company piggy bank includes data recovery algorithms for RAIDs of different types, MS Storage Spaces, and a wide range of filesystems from Microsoft, Linux, and MacOS.
