A file system is the way an operating system keeps tracks of its files. Though operating systems provide their own file management systems, the practice is to buy separate file management systems that interact smoothly with the operating system but provide more features such as improved backup procedures and stricter file protection.

Covers all versions of UNIX, as well as Linux, operating systems that are used by the majority of Fortune 1000 companies for their mission-critical data
Offers more detail than other books on the file input/output aspects of UNIX programming
Describes implementation of UNIX filesystems over a thirty year period
Demonstrates VERITAS and other filesystem examples

STEVE D. PATE is a senior manager and long time contributor to the VERITAS Filesystems Group. For the last fifteen years, he has been involved in the design and development of operating systems for numerous versions of UNIX and microkernel-based implementations of UNIX.
