Unix File Systems

Unix File Systems organize data stored on storage devices into a structured hierarchy, using directories (folders) and files. They manage how data is stored, retrieved, and maintained, ensuring efficient access and security. Think of it as a well-organized filing cabinet where files are stored in folders, and the system keeps track of their locations, sizes, and permissions. This structure enables multiple users and programs to access and share data smoothly while maintaining data integrity and security. Unix file systems are known for stability, flexibility, and support for various storage devices.
