Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0079384A2] A file stored on a storage media can be updated even while it is being accessed by an application and without requiring a reboot. In one embodiment of the invention a file stored on a storage media, having a file name listed in a directory, is updated by placing an updated version of the file on the storage media. A listing for the updated version of the file is added to the directory under a temporary name. The original file name listed in the directory is changed to a different name, and the temporary name is changed to the former name of the original file.
