Abstract

A file system is designed to store the data into the storage device efficiently and without any data loss. Every data stored on the storage device is used by some or the other application. When an application is opened, 90% probability is that the user will open a file which is supported by that application. But the files in the storage devices are not stored in a sorted manner. They are generally stored on the first come first serve basis. We have paid special attention and made efforts to design a file system which stores the data in a sorted manner so that while accessing the data in the file system, the disk header has to make least possible movement thus reducing the seek time and giving an optimal response time. Software is responsible to make the hardware perform its work efficiently. This has influenced the design of ABFS which stands for Application Based File System.
