File Systems Research Paper
All of the information stored on a computer’s disk is managed through a file
system. The system says where the information should be kept and keeps records of
where the information is so that in the case of a damaged disk or the operating system
goes down the information can be recovered. The file systems that are being used by
the operating systems will do general tasks like give structure and organize files along
with creating a user interface to open and save files as well as give information on files
and organize space on storage devices. When the user opens a file the interface calls
the file system to open it, and the type of file changes how it is opened. In the case of
an application file, the application is run by the CPU and is also loaded into memory.
