Abstract
A system and method for providing information control block (ICB) tracking streams for Universal Disk Format (UDF) file systems. The streams assist in tracking the location of the ICBs on the media, and promote clustering of ICBs. Both of these factors increase the speed of the UDF file system by greatly reducing the time to scan and locate files.
