Week 32:CST 334 Week 7: Exploring Persistence
This week, we focused on how operating systems achieve data persistence, ensuring data remains accessible over the long term. We explored file systems, learning how they structure data on disks using components like superblocks, inodes, and directories to provide organization and reliability. The hierarchical nature of file systems, with files organized within directories and linked to their metadata, was a key concept. We also examined the open
system call, which connects file descriptors to system-wide file tables, highlighting how files are efficiently accessed in memory and on disk.
Building on this, we delved into disk management and redundancy techniques, with a focus on RAID.
