ACCESS DEVICE, INFORMATION RECORDING DEVICE, INFORMATION RECORDING SYSTEM, FILE MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An information recording device, which includes a nonvolatile memory whose areas are managed using an FAT file system and enhances the reliability of directory entries using a cyclic shift checksum, recalculates the cyclic shift checksum efficiently and performs seeking at a higher speed. A nonvolatile memory (25) of an information recording device 2 is managed using an FAT file system. In the memory, a plurality of directory entries are allocated to a single file. The device enhances the reliability of the directory entries using a cyclic shift checksum, and manages information indicating the position and the size of a storage area of file data using an extent information entry (203). The device further uses an update information entry (204) and a dummy entry (205).
