SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING MEMORY DEVICES FOR USE IN A NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for providing a flexible means of using and storing file configuration metadata in a network, so that the memory system does not restrict the metadata to exact format or location in memory. The method and system include using a network controller to build a file system on an un-configured memory device. Metadata is stored in the built file system of the memory device. The stored metadata is communicated to a network controller file system. The stored metadata may be updated via communication between the network controller file system and the file system of the memory device.
