  2. Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

    The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is a reference describing the conventions used for the layout of Unix-like systems. It has been made popular by its use in Linux distributions, but it is used by other Unix-like systems as well. [1]

  3. Unix filesystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem

    The filesystem appears as one rooted tree of directories. [1] Instead of addressing separate volumes such as disk partitions, removable media, and network shares as separate trees (as done in DOS and Windows: each drive has a drive letter that denotes the root of its file system tree), such volumes can be mounted on a directory, causing the volume's file system tree to appear as that directory ...

  4. Directory structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_structure

    In computing, a directory structure is the way an operating system arranges files that are accessible to the user. Files are typically displayed in a hierarchical tree structure . File names and extensions

  5. Unix File System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_File_System

    Inode 0 is reserved for unallocated directory entries, inode 1 was the inode of the bad block file in historical UNIX versions, followed by the inode for the root directory, which is always inode 2 and the inode for the lost+found directory which is inode 3. Directory files contain only the list of filenames in the directory and the inode ...

  6. Root directory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_directory

    View of the root directory in the OpenIndiana operating system. In a computer file system, and primarily used in the Unix and Unix-like operating systems, the root directory is the first or top-most directory in a hierarchy. [1] It can be likened to the trunk of a tree, as the starting point where all branches originate from.

  7. Comparison of file systems - Wikipedia

    Version 6 Unix file system (V6FS) Yes No No No No No ? No Version 7 Unix file system (V7FS) Yes No No No No No ? No exFAT: No No No Partial (only if the file fits into one contiguous block range) No No No Yes (Linux) FAT12: Partial (only inside of compressed volumes) [61] Partial (only inside of Stacker 3/4 and DriveSpace 3 compressed volumes ...

  8. 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.

  9. inode pointer structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode_pointer_structure

    Example of structure. The inode pointer structure is a structure adopted by the inode of a file in the Version 6 Unix file system, Version 7 Unix file system, and Unix File System (UFS) to list the addresses of a file's data blocks. It is also adopted by many related file systems, including the ext3 file system, popular with Linux users.
