A method for moving open files on a computer system is disclosed. According to one aspect of the invention, an open file may be accessed by a user while being moved. To ensure accuracy, if data is to be written to an open file while it is being moved, the data is written to both the old and new locations.

Method for moving an open file being accessed by at least one user

In accordance with the present invention, a method of intelligently organizing a magnetic storage medium is provided. The magnetic storage medium has free space and a plurality of files distributed thereon. The plurality of files includes volatile files created within a first predetermined period of time. First, the free space is substantially consolidated on the magnetic storage medium. Then, the volatile files are substantially positioned contiguous to the consolidated free space.

Method for eliminating file fragmentation and reducing average seek

A method of dynamically tuning a computer system including a memory having a plurality of pages which is subjected to varying system loads based on the number of processes handled by the computer system is provided. Each process has an associated run priority. First, the current system load is determined. The current system load is then compared with the system load for which the computer system has been statically tuned. The computer system is statically tuned by the setting of tuning parameters. Finally, the tuning parameters are dynamically adjusted to tune the computer system to the current system load.

Method of allocating memory among a plurality of processes of a computer

In accordance with the present invention, a method of intelligently organizing a magnetic storage medium is provided. The magnetic storage medium has free space and a plurality of files distributed on it. The plurality of files includes volatile files created within a first predetermined period of time. First, the free space is substantially consolidated on the magnetic storage medium. Then, the volatile files are substantially positioned contiguous to the consolidated free space.
