SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : Media/Device Information, Filesystems, and Disks :
What's a filesystem? |
| A filesystem is a data structure (sort of like an array) that contains a superblock, an inode list, and data blocks. This data structure is used to provide the operating system access to files and data. The data blocks hold the actual file data, and the inodes keep track of things like permissions and where the actual data is.
