1. Technical Field
This disclosure relates generally to mobile device operations, and in particular, to handling data storage operations involving a mobile device.
2. Description of the Related Art
Mobile devices (e.g., personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, mobile messaging devices, etc.) frequently perform data storage operations in order to store data used on a mobile device. The data to be stored can be information from many different types of sources, such as from the user of the mobile device, software applications operating on or externally to the mobile device. Difficulties can arise in attempting to handle data storage operations in an efficient and robust manner. The difficulties are enhanced on a resource constrained device, such as a mobile device, where a traditional file system may be deemed as being too “heavyweight” for such a device.
