Explore machine learning concepts related to filesystems. Clear explanations and practical insights.
Explore how filesystems work through beautiful interactive visualizations. From the VFS abstraction layer to modern CoW filesystems like Btrfs and ZFS. Understand the magic behind storing and retrieving your data.
Discover inodes through interactive visualizations—the invisible data structures that track everything about your files except their names. Learn why running out of inodes means no new files, even with free space!
Understand FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) - the framework that lets you implement filesystems without writing kernel code. Learn how NTFS, SSHFS, and cloud storage work on Linux.
Deep dive into ext4 (fourth extended filesystem) - the default filesystem for most Linux distributions. Learn about journaling, extents, and why ext4 remains the reliable choice.
Understand NTFS (New Technology File System) and how Linux provides support through NTFS-3G FUSE driver. Learn about MFT, alternate data streams, and cross-platform challenges.
Explore Btrfs (B-tree filesystem) - the modern Linux filesystem with built-in snapshots, RAID, compression, and advanced features for data integrity and flexibility.
Deep dive into ZFS (Zettabyte File System) - the most advanced filesystem with unmatched data integrity, pooled storage, snapshots, and enterprise features.
Explore XFS - the high-performance 64-bit journaling filesystem optimized for large files and parallel I/O. Learn why it excels at handling massive data workloads.
Understand FAT32 and exFAT - the universal filesystems for cross-platform compatibility. Learn their limitations, use cases, and why they remain essential for removable media.
