Patent

CA 2024125

The invention is a method and system for use in facilitating communications between one or more data storage devices and a computer (or other elements or a computer). The data storage devices and a number of file system drivers are provided in the computer system which includes a default file system wherein the file systems are organized in a linked sequence. The computer system continuously monitors all peripheral devices in the system to detect any change in media in the peripheral storage devices or detecting the first time the computer accesses any particular data storage device. Whenever either of the foregoing events occurs, the first file system driver identified in the list of file system drivers is loaded and a volume identifier is read from the media. The location of the volume identifier is specified by the loaded filed system driver. The volume identifier read from the media is then compared with the identifier associated with the file system driver. If the identifiers match the file system driver is mounted, otherwise the next file system driver identified in the linked list of file system drivers is loaded. This process is then repeated until each file system driver in the linked list has been tested or until a match is found. A default file system is mounted if no match is found.
