file systems?????????

I think if you are going to develop new Operating System.. you should keep it with NTFS only so that you can integrate it with current windows operative system with yours.. I have never tried to design new file system. what I do is just make entries in file allocation tables in FAT32..

I think can help you on this. In computing ,a file system is a method for storing or organizing computer files which makes it easy to access them( Definition from my computer organization book)..Its not exactly possible to explain to you the whole concept of file system in a single post so i prefer you get some ebooks or search the net for this.NTFS and FAT32 are the most popular file system that are being used but there are many other file systems also .NTFS is much newer and preferred over FAT32 because it lets you copy files which are greater that 4G in size,its safer and much faster.I hope this helped.

Think in terms of an office filing system. You can have files in alphabetical order, in a long line of cabinets, in separate room, on different floors etc. The same is true with computer filesystems. Some are faster than others, but lack data integrity checks and security. Others cram more data to make better use of the storage medium, at the cost of overall storage efficiency. Robustness and auditing controls are other factors to consider. Whatabout storing multiple copies of files on the storage medium - do you keep fifty copies of the same file or have one copy and use links?

File system is a technique to store files on the hard drive or any other secondry memory. A file system defines how to organise different kind of file. Thats all in my mind at this very time. I will respond again

Hmm...Im just wondering, what for are you developing an Operating system? I'd assume its just for some experiment or something. Anyway, its unlikely that you develop an OS with Fat/Fat32 file system, its like going back to Windows 98. Have you heard of WinFS, XFS, ext3,. etcc.. try those. ;)

Filesystems are a method for storing and organizing computer files and make it easy to access them. In my opinion, I would stick with one of the currently available filesystems such as NTFS. Best of luck on the project.

NTFS and FAT 32 are kinds of file system used by Microsoft Corporation. It is the standard file system for Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and many more and recently brought out version Windows 7. FAT (file allocation table) was earlier used by Microsoft at the time of Windows 95, Windows 98. Now NTFS file system is used. NTFS has several improvements over FAT which includes improved support for metadata and improvement over performance, reliability and disk space utilization, plus additional extensions such as ACL.

You are a genius. Firstly i wish to know from which background are you. Either of them support compressing of files i am not sure which format is that i guess it might NTFS. In FAT32 you will have the option of compressing and files more than or greater than 4gb cannot be copied or extracted specially games.

i would not design a new one, FAT32 and NTFS are the two most popular ones. if i were you i would go for NTFS but it depends on what processor and version of windows.There is not really much difference.

I don't know anything about file system.But I appreciate your endeavor to build a operating system.Best of luck

well ntfs i s the best according 2 me well if u can design better 1 go ahead
