VFS | How your system knows where files are

[@rogo7330]

I'm not sure that symlink example is all right. Symlink is just a special kind of file that just contains a path. It does not points directly to the inode, that would be a hardlink, which you can't create between different file systems. With symlink, I believe, it should go back to the begining, just with a new filepath to find.

100% True. I simplified my schematics without mentioning it in the vid, Thanks for pointing it out!

Great video, love the mario example lol. Didn't know about the mkfifo command.

Fun fact: Unix was the first operating system to treat files as streams of bytes and abstract physical and logical records

Wonderful video. Can you make, or suggest, a video on Windows IFS and how it differs from VFS.
There are some ext4 and btrfs IFS drivers

[@Maple-Circuit]

Will look into it!

@@Maple-Circuit thanks! While Microsoft is proprietary they do have extensive documentation these days.

This looks like an obsidian canvas document with a modified theme. Hope this helps.

[@Maple-Circuit]

Too many things are abstracted by the operating system!
