Abstract
A method for initializing a storage is provided. The method includes comparing a size of a disk partition of the storage with a size of a filesystem image recorded on the storage, and reconfiguring the filesystem image in a dynamic manner if the disk partition size is larger than that of the filesystem image, wherein the filesystem image may include a metadata area composed of metadata blocks and a data block area composed of file data blocks, and wherein the data block area may include in sequence a first free block area composed of only file data blocks where data is not recorded, and a file data area composed of at least one file data block where data is recorded. Various other embodiments are possible.
