Filesystem

A filesystem is a method and data structure that the operating system uses to manage files on a disk or storage device. It defines how data is stored, retrieved, organized, and managed.

Common Linux filesystems include:

  • ext4 – Default for many Linux distributions
  • XFS – High-performance journaling filesystem
  • Btrfs – Advanced filesystem with snapshots and checksums
  • ZFS – Scalable, robust filesystem with built-in RAID and redundancy

The choice of filesystem affects performance, reliability, and available features.
