File System
File system is way of organizing files on the disk.
Structure

Boot block (Booting related progams)

bootstrap & bootloader.

Super block (Partition info)

size, ...
Number of inodes, number of free inodes, info of free inodes
Number of data blocks, number of data blocks, info of data blocks
i-node list

i-node contains file metadata.


i-node list contains inodes of all files.

Data block

File data are split into multiple blocks.


Block size is multiple of 512 bytes. e.g. 1kb, 2kb, 4kb, 8kb, 16kb, 32kb,
...
Block size can be decided during formatting.

Types/Implementations

FAT
NTFS
EXT3/4
ReiserFS
XFS
HFS

Hierarchial file systems (Tree structure)

/ (root)
|- bin
|- boot
|- usr
|- etc
|- root
|- tmp
|- home
|- nilesh
|- dbda
|- sunbeam
|- Documents
|- Downloads
|- ...

File Path
File path can be given in two ways:

Absolute path

e.g. Windows --> D:\movies\hollywood\fountainhead.avi


e.g. Windows --> D:\movies\bollywood\3idiots.mp4
e.g. Linux --> /home/nilesh/movies/hollywood/fountainhead.avi
e.g. Linux --> /home/nilesh/movies/bollywood/3idiots.mp4
In Linux, it start with "/".

Relative path

If current directory is
home --> nilesh/movies/hollywood/fountainhead.avi
