In computing, file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to fs) is a method and data structure that the operating system uses to control how data is stored and retrieved. A file separates the storage data into pieces and giving each piece a name (and/or position), so the data is easily isolated and identified. A directory is used to organise files for ease of navigation by programs and users.

There are many kinds of file systems (to name a few):

  • fat32
  • ntfs
  • ext3
  • ext4
  • brtfs
