Disk utility - Open source?
|
|
| gauths@gmail.com 2005-01-24, 7:45 am |
| Hello All,
I'm developing a Digital Video Surveilance system (on TI's DM642
platform http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folde...ms320dm642.html)
which uses SATA hard disks for storing the alarm video data. I'm
planning to use FAT32 file system. I'm also looking to write some disk
utilities such as partitioning, fixing the corrupt sectors in disk,
formating et al.
I'd like to know if there are any Open Source available on this. Even
if the Open Source is available on Linux, I'd like to know.
Thanx in advance
Gautham

There's freedos http://www.freedos.org/ (open source DOS) and Linux
has the basic kit of MSDOS disk management and partitioning tools.
As for the vidcam stuff, you're reinventing the wheel. Linux has just
about every flavor of camera software, including multi-camera screens,
and storage, and motion detection. Also streaming web server
applications.
I don't know that anything can "fix corrput sectors". If they get
remapped it's done by the disk controller.
Don't let me discourage you.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

| Hi Al Dykes
Thanx for the reply. I'll check out freedos.org.
I understand that linux has pretty much whatever we're looking at.
However my customer's requirement stops me from using Linux. Otherwise
I'd have been happy using linux.
Thanx
Gautham
