Filesystems

A file system (or filesystem or fs) is a means to organize data expected to be retained after a program terminates by providing procedures to store, retrieve and update data. It also allows you to manage the available space on the device.

fat 16, fat32, ntfs, hfs, hfs plus, ext2, ext3, ext4. the list goes on.
