| | File system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A disk file system is a file system designed for the storage of files on a data storage device, most commonly a disk drive, which might be directly or indirectly connected to the computer. | | | In computing, a file system is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them. | | | This includes systems where the files are arranged dynamically by software, intended for such purposes as communication between computer processes or temporary file space. |

| | Hierarchical File System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hierarchical File System (HFS), is a file system developed by Apple Computer for use on computers running Mac OS. | | | The File Record also stores two 16 byte fields that are used by the Finder to store attributes about the file including things like its creator code, type code, the window the file should appear in and its location within the window. | | | This leads to real performance problems when the system allows multitasking, as only one program can write to this structure at a time, meaning that many programs may be waiting in queue due to one program "hogging" the system. |

| | The Coda Distributed File System |
| | A system call is an operation through which a program asks the kernel for service: for example, when opening the file the kernel will want to do a lookup operation to find the inode of the file and return a file handle associated with the file to the program. | | | The Coda distributed file system is a state of the art experimental file system developed in the group of M. Satyanarayanan at Carnegie Mellon University. | | | A distributed file system stores files on one or more computers called servers, and makes them accessible to other computers called clients, where they appear as normal files. |

| | The New BFS (Brendan File System) - OSNews.com |
| | But where the Be file system made these queries persist at the application level, the BFS lets users and programmers create and extend groups by adding a search pattern to their metadata. | | | The Be file system basically nailed this with extendable attributes and live queries, and the BFS embraces this system whole-heartedly. | | | This is a damaging notion, and is born of the misplaced belief that any user-centered file system must necessarily be difficult to interface with for the programmer. |

| | ZFS: the last word in file systems. |
| | As a 128-bit system, ZFS is designed to support more storage, more file systems, more snapshots, more directory entries, and more files than can possibly be created in the foreseeable future. | | | Consider this case: To create a pool, to create three file systems, and then to grow the pool--5 logical steps--5 simple ZFS commands are required, as opposed to 28 steps with a traditional file system and volume manager. | | | ZFS meets the needs of a file system for everything from desktops to data centers. |

| | Boost Filesystem Library |
| | The state of files and directories is often globally shared, and thus may be changed unexpectedly by other threads, processes, or even other computers having network access to the filesystem. | | | Typical operating systems rules call for deep operations on all links except that destructive operations on non-reference counted links are either shallow, or fail altogether in the case of trying to remove a non-reference counted link to a directory. | | | Because the operating system manages the underlying file or directory, hard links are transparent to programs. |

| | However, Brian's "File System Forensics Analysis" is exceptional in its depth of coverage of modern computer file systems. | | | Most digital evidence is stored within the computer's file system, but understanding how file systems work is one of the most technically challenging concepts for a digital investigator because there exists little documentation. | | | Each file system is given a chapter for describing how it utilizes the categories defined in The Sleuth Kit (file system, content, metadata, file name, application) and another chapter for digging into the meat of it. |

| | Note that the 32-bit zip files (the first two) are identical, and works on either Win9x or NT as well as 64-bit (x64) Windows XP and Server 2003. | | | On Windows NT the heart of FileMon is a file system driver that creates and attaches filter device objects to target file system device objects so that FileMon will see all IRPs and FastIO requests directed at drives. | | | For example, if the include filter is "c:\temp", and the exclude filter is "c:\temp\subdir", all references to files and directories under c:\temp, except to those under c:\temp\subdir will be monitored. |
