5. Filesystems
Some filesystems:
- UFS, FFS, ext2fs : original UNIX disk-based filesystem
- NFS, AFS, CODA : network-filesystems
- CD9660 : CD-ROM ISO-9660
- UnionFS, NullFS, Portal : special filesystems
The original FFS was limited to 14 characters per filenane. UFS and ext2fs
moved the limit to 255. Also, many speed improvements.
A typical file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 regnauld staff 6153 22 Oct 11:36 file.txt
