File Systems Storage : overview : remember

Summary

File systems organize data on storage. A file_system maps files to blocks and tracks file_metadata like size, times, and file permissions. Common layouts include a directory_tree, file_paths, and the inode_table. Data lives on storage_devices such as SSDs and HDDs, grouped into disk_partitions and logical_volumes. Systems use mount_points to attach volumes. Models include block_storage, file_storage, and object_storage. Reliability and speed rely on fs_journaling, raid_levels, data_redundancy, i_o_throughput, and i_o_latency. Backups protect data_integrity.
