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.
