Abstract

A method of managing a container file for storing data files includes creating a container file including a container file metadata section by creating one or more empty records in a storage device. Each record of the one or more empty records has a data file section reserved for storing a data file, a file metadata section reserved for storing metadata about the data file, and a record metadata section including information about the record and having at least a record status mark indicating that the record is empty. The method further includes setting a container status mark in the container file metadata section to available, after creating the container file.
