  4. Hierarchical file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_file_system

    The hierarchical file system was used instead of simply expanding the flat directory for performance reasons. "A flat DOS file structure with a single directory and 10 times as many files would logically require 10 times as long to search." [2] OS/2 and Windows also support a hierarchical file system, using the same path syntax as DOS.

  8. NTFS links - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_links

    A hard link "points" to an MFT record. That target record will be the record for a "regular" file, such as a text file or executable (assuming the NTFS volume is in a normal "healthy" state). Compare with a typical Unix file system, where a hard link points to an inode. As in such file systems, an NTFS hard link cannot point to a directory.

    On the back-end, the file system headings and subheadings correspond to file system folders and sub-folders. Links within Planz correspond either to local files within these folders or to shortcuts which, in turn, can point to files, web pages or e-mail messages. The mapping from headings and links to folders, files, and shortcuts is one-to-one.
