Introduction to OS and File Systems
An operating system is a type of system software that manages hardware and software resources on a computer. Common features of operating systems include:
Process management
Memory management
File system
Device drivers
Networking
Security
Input-output (I/O)
The file system feature is especially relevant to digital forensics. A file is a collection of correlated information. This information is recorded on secondary or non-volatile storage like magnetic disks, optical disks, and tapes. A file system defines how files are named, stored, and retrieved from a storage device. File systems allow users to interact with information stored on a computer in a more intuitive manner.
