With that title I was honestly expecting something more linux-specific, but the concepts described here pretty much apply to all modern OSs and their file handling.
Thank you for sharing this, it's an interesting read
Good article! I would like to see a mention up front that the description is filesystem dependent, as well as acknowledging that all modern operating systems work this way.
That was a great read. Thanks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
