Abstract

A management apparatus for volume-medium correspondence information for use in a dual file system is disclosed. The apparatus has a volume-medium correspondence information management table for storing and managing volume-medium correspondence information during the operation of the dual file system. A
volume-medium correspondence information storage file stores, after a stop of the dual file system, volume-medium correspondence information which was in the volume-medium correspondence information management table immediately before that system stop. The volume-medium correspondence information is updated in the volume-medium correspondence information management table when the media constituting dual files are to be altered and when the volumes into which the media are to be assembled are to be altered. During the operation of the dual file system, the latest volume-medium correspondence information in the volume-medium correspondence information management table is written into the volume-medium correspondence information storage file.
When the dual file system is to be re-actuated, volume-medium correspondence information stored in the volume-medium correspondence information file is recovered into the volume-medium correspondence information table after the re-actuation. When the dual file system is to be re-actuated, the volumes in an off-line state are provisionally allocated to dual files including a blockaded medium on the basis of the volume-medium correspondence information in the volume-medium correspondence information table recovered.
