	File system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		File systems may use a storage device such as a hard disk or CD-ROM and involve maintaining the physical location of the files, or they may be virtual and exist only as an access method for virtual data or for data over a network (e.g.
		The file system software is responsible for organizing these sectors into files and directories, and keeping track of which sectors belong to which file and which are not being used.
		A disk file system is a file system designed for the storage of files on a data storage device, most commonly a disk drive, which might be directly or indirectly connected to the computer.

	Macintosh File System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MFS was introduced with the Macintosh 128K in January 1984.
		MFS is called a flat file system because it does not support a hierarchy of folders.
		Apple introduced Hierarchical File System as a replacement for MFS in September 1985.

	File Server Accessibility over AppleTalk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Even though the Windows 2000 file system differs from that of the Macintosh file system, both Windows 2000 clients and Macintosh clients can use the files that are stored on the Windows 2000–based server.
		The files on a Windows 2000–based server that is running Services for Macintosh are stored in shared directories or in Macintosh volumes, which are Macintosh file storage units.
		When Macintosh users browse through the list of files that are available on the server, they see icons that represent each file and folder.

	Semantic File Systems
		Files are a popular form of data storage as they do not impose any formatting and structuring constraints, and the file/directory abstraction is easy to understand.
		In the Macintosh File System, a file is composed of both a resource fork and a data fork.
		In situations where the file is a composite (e.g tar files), an encoding (e.g compressed files) or both (e.g tar.Z files), the file unnester is invoked to extract the individual files whose content is then individually summarized.

	CodeBuilder User's Guide - 6.0 File Systems
		Each file and directory is tagged with a user and group ID. Three levels of permissions are specified, one for the owner of a file, a second for the members of the designated group, and a third for "everyone else".
		The catalog file maintains the hierarchy of directories and files on a volume, and the extents overflow file tracks assignment of allocation blocks to files which cannot be stored in the catalog file.
		The Macintosh File Manager saves three time stamps for each file: (1) the time the file was created, (2) the time the file was last modified, and (3) the time the file was last backed up (rarely used in the Macintosh world).

	Macintosh File Forks
		The data fork contains what we generally call a file on the PC, that is the text created by a word processor, the pixels building a picture, etc. When transferring data files between Macintosh and PC, the data fork is generally the only part of interest (the major exception is font files, see below).
		When a Macintosh data file is not recognized any more, for an example after a transfer through another file system, it remains usable, most of the time.
		Two main methods are commonly used to keep together both forks of Macintosh files on communication lines and on servers which don't know anything about forks: the MacBinary standard and the BinHex standard.

	Macintosh CD-ROMs
		This is the name of the Macintosh file system, introduced after the first "flat" one, used on the 400 KB floppy disks.
		Depending on the version of the operating system, the Macintosh accesses the Joliet long filenames or not (there is an extension written by Thomas Tempelman to alleviate those problems).
		Again, depending on the settings of the computer, the very nature of the data files will be recognized or not (the Macintosh file system doesn't use extensions to characterize the files, but signatures).

		It was also impossible to nest folders within folders — in fact, folders were illusionary, all files were stored on the root level of a disk, with a note in the file table for which files were in which folder so the Finder could make them appear to be in the appropriate folder.
		System 7.1 implemented the Fonts folder so that fonts could be easily added and removed — previously they were buried within the System itself — and the Enabler scheme — which mean new models could be released with an Enabler file instead of a very minor update like with Systems 6.0.1—6.0.8.
		System 7.5.2 was available in two, incompatible versions: one for the first PCI Power Macs, one for the portables released at about the same time.

	Macintosh from FOLDOC
		The Macintosh user interface was notable for popularising the graphical user interface, with its easy to learn and easy to use desktop metaphor.
		The first Macintosh, introduced in January 1984, had a Motorola 68000 CPU, 128K of RAM, a small monochrome screen, and one built-in floppy disk drive with an external slot for one more, two serial ports and a four-voice sound generator.
		The core of the OS X operating system is released as free source code under the project name Darwin.

	PHP: file - Manual
		Beware of using file() to call a URL from a remote server on a live Web site, as there is no way to set a maximum connection time.
		Here is an alternative function which like file() can be used to retrieve a remote feed, but which imposes a maximum connection time, after which the page will be displayed without the feed.

	File System Layout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Macintosh file system is hierarchical, meaning that you can use folders to group other files and folders, and this grouping can be carried to an arbitrary level.
		In this sense, all files available on the Macintosh are contained ultimately by the desktop (visualize it as the blue background in the picture above), which in turn holds the disk volumes.
		The designation of any file or folder in the file system can be formed by providing a path to it, starting from the root level.

	The Graphical Age at Apple
		The default application that ran as the system came up was called the "Finder" It was an interface for browsing the file system and launching applications.
		The Macintosh trash can is often criticized for being poorly designed as it is not only meant to destroy files, but also for ejecting disks so that they can be safely put away.
		A version of the Lisa 2 with a disk was later sold as the Macintosh XL and came with MacWorks, an emulator to run the Macintosh operating system.

		I believe this structure favored the Mac file system, because its performance declines as the number of files in a folder increases.
		For the Mac file system part of the test, we replace '/'s with ':'s, and then read the entire contents of the file.
		The third column is the ratio of the time used by the file system divided by the time used by the object database.

		Note that in general, you only care about the file systems in use by your organization and used on removeable media that you are likely to encounter.
		Otherwise, you main interest in file systems is the capabilities of the native file system of each operating system.

		This enables PHP to interoperate with Macintosh systems, but defaults to Off, as there is a very small performance penalty when detecting the EOL conventions for the first line, and also because people using carriage-returns as item separators under Unix systems would experience non-backwards-compatible behaviour.
		When a function that needs a path requires the file it will output a temp file and return the path to it, so that ie.

	Macintosh File Format (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Text files and GIF image files are examples of Macintosh files that are usually stored completely in the data fork, and have an empty (or nonexistent) resource fork.
		MacBinary is a standard way of taking a Macintosh file (both resource and data forks) and creating a new file with just a data fork.
		This new file can then be transferred through machines which know nothing about the native Macintosh file system, without losing the information stored in the resource fork.

	GIF Prep free Macintosh Web graphics utility from BoxTop
		The problem is the difficulty determining the true size of your GIF (and JPEG) graphics because of the dual nature of the Macintosh file system.
		The answer to that question is the Macintosh uses a file system that references two separate files, one called a "resource fork" and one called a "data fork", as a single file visible on your desktop.
		In the "data fork" of a Macintosh file is your cross-platform GIF or JPEG file.

		We have created a Macintosh file system library which is portable to a variety of operating systems and platforms.
		We describe the Macintosh Hierarchical File System and our implementation and note that the design is not well suited to reentrancy and that its complex data structures can lead to slow implementations in multiprogrammed environments.
		Performance measurements show that our implementation is faster than the native Macintosh implementation at creating, deleting, reading and writing files with small request sizes, but slower than the Berkeley Fast File System (FFS.) However, the native Macintosh implementation can perform large read and write operations faster that either our implementation or FFS.

	Joliet File System by Thomas Tempelmann
		Until now, if you inserted a Windows CD-ROM in your Mac, file names appeared to be crippled (in the so-called 8.3 format) or files may have been inaccessible.
		Note that not only the file names are not mangled any more but that also all the files have proper Icons and Kind explanations, allowing you to open the files from the CD with a simple double click.
		While the Finder in Mac OS 9 is still limited to 31 characters in file names, more and more 3rd party applications start to support longer names (up to 256 characters).

		Released January 7 1998, OS 8.1 was the last version to run on Macs with either a m68k or PowerPC processor.
		It introduced support for the HFS+ file system format, which supported large file sizes, longer file names and made more efficient use of the space on larger drives due to using a smaller block size.
		Released October 15 1998, OS 8.5 was the first version of the Mac OS to run solely on Macs equipped with a PowerPC processor, as such it removed some but not all of the m68k code, improving system performance.
