What is a filesystem? ..

Answer / kesavareddy

The system that an operating system or program uses to
organize and keep track of files. For example, a
hierarchical file system is one that uses directories to
organize files into a tree structure.

Although the operating system provides its own file
management system, you can buy separate file management
systems. These systems interact smoothly with the operating
system but provide more features, such as improved backup
procedures and stricter file protection.
