Abstract

Disk file systems are being researched since the inception of first magnetic disk in 1956 by IBM. As such, many good disk file system designs have been drafted and implemented. Every file system design addressed a problem at the time of its development and efficiently mitigated it. The augmented or new designs rectified the flaws in previous designs or provided a new concept in file system design. As such, there are many file systems that have been successfully d in operating systems. Among these designs, some file systems have made an influential impact on the file system design because of their capability to cope up with change in hardware technology and/or user requirements or because of their innovation in file system ign or because time favored them which allowed them to find space in popular operating systems. In this paper, we vide a quick review of on-disk layout of some popular disk file systems across many popular platforms like Windows, Linux & Macintosh. The goal of this paper is to explore the on-disk layout of these file systems to identify the various layout policies and data structures they exploit which made them to be adapted by their native and other operating systems.
