Abstract
A filesystem provides the operating system with a framework for the storage, organization, modification, removal, and retrieval of digital information. The filesystems are responsible for organizing and maintaining files, folders, metadata, and residual data as containers for storing digital information. For the various types of filesystems, the storage containers can reside on many different storage devices. The storage devices can house static and dynamic generated data. Some filesystems that are common in use include File Allocation Table (FAT), New Technology File System (NTFS), and Virtual File Allocation Table (VFAT). FAT is a widely supported filesystem with a number of different standards including FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and a variation called VFAT. Linux filesystems can also span across a network that allows them to function as a client/server model providing file-sharing services to systems remotely. The server component provides shared directories that can be accessed via network connectivity. Network File System is a framework designed to allow a user on a client workstation to access remote files over a network on a network-based server.
