Structures

Files cache

This file contains all the shared files and theirs SHA-1 hashes. This file is saved in user space after an update of the file list, it is completely loaded at the start of Aybabtu. If some paths of some files doesn't match the shared directory they are discarded.

You can see the proto file here : source:/application/Protos/files_cache.proto

Size

Here is a size approximation for 50'000 files stored in 1 TB. The overhead of the file format is not taken in account.

Nb of files : 50'0000
Total size : 1 TB
Chunk Size : 32 MB
Average file per directory : 50
Average filename and dirname length : 50 char
Size of a hash : 20B
AverageFileSize = 1*1024^4 / 50'000 = 21MB
Sha1Size = floor(AverageFileSize / 32MB) * 20 * 50'000 = 1 * 20 * 50'000 = 977kB
FilenameSize = 50'000 * 50 * 2 = 4.8MB (2 bytes per char)
DirnameSize = (50'000 / 50) * 50 * 2 = 97kB

TotalSize = 977kB + 4.8MB + 97kB = 5.9MB

Queued files and directories

A file containing the queued files and directories is saved in user space. An item from the list may contains a remote peer id and/or the hashes. For more details see the file : source:/application/Protos/queue.proto
