Abstract

When taking computation into consideration, storing and retrieval of data is controlled by file system. If the
computing system lacks proper file system, stored information would just be a large piece of data. Without it, there would
not be any way to tell where one piece of information ends and where is the beginning of the next piece. The structure
and logic rules used to manage the groups of information and their names is called a "file system" [1]. In this paper, we
develop a comprehensive taxonomy for describing various file systems and use this taxonomy to survey several existing
file systems. We use the taxonomy and the survey results to identify which file system is appropriate to use according to
the requirements of an individual.
