kandi X-RAY | dedupfs Summary

dedupfs is a Python library typically used in Utilities, Compression applications. dedupfs has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However dedupfs build file is not available and it has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

The Python program dedupfs.py implements a file system in user space using FUSE. It's called DedupFS because the file system's primary feature is data deduplication, which enables it to store virtually unlimited copies of files because unchanged data is only stored once. In addition to deduplication the file system also supports transparent compression using the compression methods lzo, zlib and bz2. These properties make the file system ideal for backups: I'm currently storing 250 GB worth of backups using only 8 GB of disk space. Several aspects of the design of DedupFS were inspired by Venti (ignoring the distributed aspect, for now…) and ZFS, though I've never personally used either. The ArchiveFS and lessfs projects share similar goals but have very different implementations.

            Is there any (invertible) way (in c#) to convert a string into a smaller one, and when I say smaller I mean "with reduced length"?
            Asked 2022-Apr-16 at 07:31

            Let me explain: in my use case a system gives me many strings that can vary in size (number of characters; length), sometimes it can be really huge! The problem is that I have to save this string in a column of a table of a "SQL Server" database, the bad news is that I am not allowed to do any migration in this database, the good news is that the column already has type nvarchar(max).

            I've done some research before and followed the following post to write a data compressor using "Gzip" and "Brotli".

            The max size for a column of type NVARCHAR(MAX) is 2 GByte of storage.

            Since NVARCHAR uses 2 bytes per character, that's approx. 1 billion characters.

            So I don't think you actually need to make a compression, if the problem is the performance when retrieving data, then you can use a server side caching system.

            Encoded data (base64) Threshold compressed data are encoded in ‘base64’ to be transmitted as ASCII characters. Each conversion results is given here (represented in hexadecimal data) :

            Thresholds: $59 77 41 44 42 55 63 6B 32 6F 47 42 6F 63 47 65 67 57 45 42 6D 41 59 41

            YwADBUck2oGBocGegWEBmAYA

            As explained in above details, what I want to do is backwards.

            The packets that we received is

            YwADBUck2oGBocGegWEBmAYA

            then from there convert it to Hex value Base64 which is the output is.

            Such as a method to get current filesize during the process to use when comparing against the videos original filesize.

            For example, a potential video being transcoded takes 5 minutes, but during the process, a function will check the file size on intervals of 100 frames or every 5 seconds to ensure that the filesize hasn't exceeded the original.

            Is Shannon-Fano coding ambiguous?
            Asked 2022-Mar-08 at 19:38
            In a nutshell:

            Is the Shannon-Fano coding as described in Fano's paper The Transmission of Information (1952) really ambiguous?

            In Detail:

            3 papers
            Claude E. Shannon published his famous paper A Mathematical Theory of Communication in July 1948. In this paper he invented the term bit as we know it today and he also defined what we call Shannon entropy today. And he also proposed an entropy based data compression algorithm in this paper. But Shannon's algorithm was so weak, that under certain circumstances the "compressed" messages could be even longer than in fix length coding. A few month later (March 1949) Robert M. Fano published an improved version of Shannons algorithm in the paper The Transmission of Information. 3 years after Fano (in September 1952) his student David A. Huffman published an even better version in his paper A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes. Hoffman Coding is more efficient than its two predecessors and it is still used today. But my question is about the algorithm published by Fano which usually is called Shannon-Fano-Coding.

            The algorithm
            This description is based on the description from Wikipedia. Sorry, I did not fully read Fano's paper. I only browsed through it. It is 37 pages long and I really tried hard to find a passage where he talks about the topic of my question, but I could not find it. So, here is how Shannon-Fano encoding works:

            1. Count how often each character appears in the message.
            2. Sort all characters by frequency, characters with highest frequency on top of the list
            3. Divide the list into two parts, such that the sums of frequencies in both parts are as equal as possible. Add the bit 0 to one part and the bit 1 to the other part.
            4. Repeat step 3 on each part that contains 2 or more characters until all parts consist of only 1 character.
            5. Concatenate all bits from all rounds. This is the Shannon-Fano-code of that character.

            An example
            Let's execute this on a really tiny example (I think it's the smallest message where the problem appears). Here is the message to encode:

            To directly answer your question, without further elaboration about how to break ties, two different implementations of Shannon-Fano could produce different codes of different lengths for the same inputs.

            As @MattTimmermans noted in the comments, Shannon-Fano does not always produce optimal prefix-free codings the way that, say, Huffman coding does. It might therefore be helpful to think of it less as an algorithm and more of a heuristic - something that likely will produce a good code but isn't guaranteed to give an optimal solution. Many heuristics suffer from similar issues, where minor tweaks in the input or how ties are broken could result in different results. A good example of this is the greedy coloring algorithm for finding vertex colorings of graphs. The linked Wikipedia article includes an example in which changing the order in which nodes are visited by the same basic algorithm yields wildly different results.

            Even algorithms that produce optimal results, however, can sometimes produce different optimal results based on tiebreaks. Take Huffman coding, for example, which works by repeatedly finding the two lowest-weight trees assembled so far and merging them together. In the event that there are three or more trees at some intermediary step that are all tied for the same weight, different implementations of Huffman coding could produce different prefix-free codes based on which two they join together. The resulting trees would all be equally "good," though, in that they'd all produce outputs of the same length. (That's largely because, unlike Shannon-Fano, Huffman coding is guaranteed to produce an optimal encoding.)

            That being said, it's easy to adjust Shannon-Fano so that it always produces a consistent result. For example, you could say "in the event of a tie, choose the partition that puts fewer items into the top group," at which point you would always consistently produce the same coding. It wouldn't necessarily be an optimal encoding, but, then again, since Shannon-Fano was never guaranteed to do so, this is probably not a major concern.

            If, on the other hand, you're interested in the question of "when Shannon-Fano has to break a tie, how do I decide how to break the tie to produce the optimal solution?," then I'm not sure of a way to do this other than recursively trying both options and seeing which one is better, which in the worst case leads to exponentially-slow runtimes. But perhaps someone else here can find a way to do that>

            PowerShell reading and writing compressed files with byte arrays
            Asked 2022-Mar-04 at 02:56

            Final Update: Turns out I didn't need Binary writer. I could just copy memory streams from one archive to another.

            I'm re-writing a PowerShell script which works with archives. I'm using two functions from here

            Expand-Archive without Importing and Exporting files

            and can successfully read and write files to the archive. I've posted the whole program just in case it makes things clearer for someone to help me.

            However, there are three issues (besides the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing).

            1.) Most files have this error on when trying to run Add-ZipEntry -ZipFilePath ($OriginalArchivePath + $PartFileDirectoryName) -EntryPath $entry.FullName -Content $fileBytes}

            Cannot convert value "507" to type "System.Byte". Error: "Value was either too large or too small for an unsigned byte." (replace 507 with whatever number from the byte array is there)

            2.) When it reads a file and adds it to the zip archive (*.imscc) it adds a character "a" to the beginning of the file contents.

            3.) The only file it doesn't error on are text files, when I really want it to handle any file

            Thank you for any assistance!

            System.IO.StreamWriter is a text writer, and therefore not suitable for writing raw bytes. Cannot convert value "507" to type "System.Byte" indicates that an inappropriate attempt was made to convert text - a .NET string composed of [char] instances which are in effect [uint16] code points (range 0x0 - 0xffff) - to [byte] instances (0x0 - 0xff). Therefore, any Unicode character whose code point is greater than 255 (0xff) will cause this error.

            The solution is to use a .NET API that allows writing raw bytes, namely System.IO.BinaryWriter:

            Here you have a little example of how recursion would look like, basically, you loop over the .Entries property of ZipFile and check if the extension of each item is .zip, if it is, then you pass that entry to your function.

            EDIT: Un-deleting this answer mainly to show how this could be approached using a recursive function, my previous answer was inaccurate. I was using [ZipFile]::OpenRead(..) to read the nested .zip files which seemed to work correctly on Linux (.NET Core) however it clearly does not work when using Windows PowerShell. The correct approach would be to use [ZipArchive]::new($nestedZip.Open()) as Sage Pourpre's helpful answer shows.
