file system integrity

File system integrity refers to the reliability and accuracy of data stored on a computer's storage device. It ensures that files are not corrupted or altered in unintended ways, maintaining their intended state. Just as a library keeps its books organized and in good condition, file system integrity monitors and protects data from errors, unauthorized changes, or physical damage. When file system integrity is compromised, it can lead to data loss or corruption, making it difficult to recover important information. Regular checks and maintenance help preserve this integrity, ensuring that users can access and trust their data.
