Linux file system: -
A Linux file system is a structured collection of files on a disk drive or a partition. A partition is a segment of memory and contains some specific data. In our machine, there can be various partitions of the memory. Generally, every partition contains a file system.
The general-purpose computer system needs to store data systematically so that we can easily access the files in less time. It stores the data on hard disks (HDD) or some equivalent storage type. There may be below reasons for maintaining the file system:
· Primarily the computer saves data to the RAM storage; it may lose the data if it gets turned off. However, there is non-volatile RAM (Flash RAM and SSD) that is available to maintain the data after the power interruption.
· Data storage is preferred on hard drives as compared to standard RAM as RAM costs more than disk space. The hard disks costs are dropping gradually comparatively the RAM.
The Linux file system contains the following sections:
· The root directory (/)
· A specific data storage format (EXT3, EXT4, BTRFS, XFS and so on)
· A partition or logical volume having a particular file system.
Make-file advantage:-
- It makes codes more concise and clearer to read and debug.
- No need to compile the entire program every time whenever you make a change to a functionality or a class. Make-file will automatically compile only those files where change has occurred.
- Generally, in long codes or projects, Make-file is widely used in order to present projects in a more systematic and efficient way.
