File Systems
A file system provides persistent storage of information. It is the part of an operating system that interfaces with storage systems and provides a way to organize how information is stored. Users access files through command-line or graphical user interfaces. File systems are organized into tree-structured directories. The metaphor is usually file cabinets (drives) and folders (directories). Folders are like containers that can hold other folders or files.
Directories have rights or permission such as read-only, read-write, and so on. These folders are passed down to sub-folders. This is called inheritance. Files also have their own set of attributes, depending on the operating system. Local file systems allow users to access storage on their own computers. However, most operating systems include peer-to-peer file-sharing function that let user access files on other network computers or share (publish) files on their own computers. Common file systems are: .
- FAT (File Allocation Table)
- FAT 32
- HPFS(High Performance File System)
- NTFS (New Technology File System)
- NTFS 5
- NetWare UFS (Universal File System)
- NWFS (NetWare File System)
- NSS (Novell Storage Services)
- UNIX file system
- WAFL (Write Anywhere File Layout)
