Android: /cache中的文件是怎么消失的[转]

自己放某个文件到/cache分区，重启后发现文件消失了，那么是怎么消失的呢?

Step 1. 

packages\providers\DownloadProvider\src\com\android\providers\downloads\StorageManager.java:

/**
 * Removes files in the systemcache and downloads data dir without corresponding entries in
 * the downloads database.
 * This can occur if a delete is done on the database but the file is not removed from the
 * filesystem (due to sudden death of the process, for example).
 * This is not a very common occurrence. So, do this only once in a while.

除 lost+found, recovery这两个目录外的文件都删掉

private static String LAST_PREFIX = "last_";

/cache/recovery目录中，除last_开头的文件都删掉

------------------------------------------------

开机走完这两步后幸存的文件只有 /cache/lost+found目录中的文件，及/cache/recovery/last_ 开头的文件了
