FILE SYSTEM
In a computer,a file system is the way in which files are named and where they are placed logically for storage retrival.
We need the structure for store the data. It will decide the memory space to store the data.

FILE SYSTEM
To store the files & retrieve: Disk are divided into tracks. Tracks are divided into sectors. Sectors are grouped into cluster. Number of sector in a cluster is determined by size of hard drive.

FAT???
File allocation table-where the os records,how the disk space is used.

It will support sharing.

Types of fat file system

FAT 12 FAT 16 FAT 32 FAT 12: The earliest version of the file system is FAT 12. It allows a partition to contain upto 4GB.

FAT 16: It is oldest one which is created for DOS, supported by most oss. It allows a partition to contain upto 4GB. It supported in DOS 6.0 & Windows xp. FAT 32: It support disk from 512MB to 32GB.its very compatible with Windows 98 & Windows xp.

Advantages of FAT file system

The FAT file system is better to format.

The FAT file system is best for drives & partition under approxiamately 200MB.

Disadvantages of FAT file system

We cant get good performance with 4GB under Windows NT & 2GB in MS-DOS. Any FAT partition that use DOS based disk compression will not have readable files.

FAT file system is also prone to fragmentation

NTFS
New Technology File System-this is a new technology,which is better file seurity.disk compression,disk quota feature,reliability. It support partition upto 2TB.

Advantages of NTFS
Get good performance Large scale and Large files Recoverability Security as well as sharing Stability

Disadvantages of NTFS
There is no possible to encrypt the file in NTFS NTFS is not possible to format in Win98 and Win95. We cant format floppy disk in NTFS.

EXTENDED 2 & EXTENDED 3

Ext2 & Ext3 are the default Linux file system. Ext3 is the new version of Ext2 and adds journaling mechanism. The metadata is stored throughout the file system & the metadata which is associated with a file are stored near it.

Advantages
Simple Have the facility of backup & restore data. Good security. More directories are available.
