In computing, a file system (or filesystem) is used to control how data is stored and retrieved. Without a file system, information placed in a storage area would be one large body of data with no way to tell where one piece of information stops and the next begins. By separating the data into individual pieces, and giving each piece a name, the information is easily separated and identified. Taking its name from the way paper-based information systems are named, each group of data is called a "file". The structure and logic rules used to manage the groups of information and their names is called a "file system".
There are many different kinds of file systems. Each one has different structure and logic, properties of speed, flexibility, security, size and more. Some file systems have been designed to be used for specific applications. For example, the ISO 9660 file system is designed specifically for optical discs.
File systems can be used on many different kinds of storage devices. Each storage device uses a different kind of media. The most common storage device in use today is a hard drive whose media is a disc that has been coated with a magnetic film. The film has ones and zeros 'written' on it sending electrical pulses to a magnetic "read-write" head. Other media that are used are magnetic tape, optical disc, and flash memory. In some cases, such as with tmpfs, the computer's main memory (RAM) is used to create a temporary file system for short-term use.

This video looks at the four file systems supported by Windows. These are ReFS, NTFS, FAT and exFAT. The video looks at what each file system is capable of and its limitations. Download the PDF handout http://ITFreeTraining.com/handouts/server/file-systems.pdf Resilient File System (ReFS) The Resilient File System is a new file system built from scratch by Microsoft. Since it is a new file system it requires Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 in order to operate. The main design difference between it and previous operating systems is that it is designed to fix problems while the operating system is online. For this reason the check disk feature that is found in previous operating systems that can be run to fix problems no longer exists. Given a new approach has been taken in the operating ...
