8. Understand Macintosh File Structure (v ( and below) Hierarchical File System – The system used by the MAC OS to store files, consisting of folders and subfolders, which can be nested.

9. Understand Macintosh File Structure File Manager – In Macintosh file system, it handles the reading, writing, and storage of data to physical media. It also collects data to maintain the HFS along with manipulation of files, folders, and volumes.

10. Understand Macintosh File Structure Finder – Works with the Macintosh OS to keep track of files and maintain the user’s desktop.

11. Understand Macintosh File Structure Data Fork – The part of the Macintosh file structure that contains the actual data of a file. Resource Fork – The part of the Macintosh file system that contains the resource map, header information for the file, window locations, and icons.

12. Understand Macintosh File Structure

13. The resource fork contains the following information: -Resource map -Resource header information for each file -Window locations -Icons

14. Understand Macintosh File Structure Volume – Refers to any storage media in the Macintosh file system. A volume can be a single floppy disk, a partition on a hard drive, the entire drive, or several drives.

15. Understanding Volumes Storage medium used to store files A volume can be all or part of a hard disk –On a floppy disk, is always the entire disk Multiple clients per volume Allocation and logical blocks –Logical blocks cannot exceed 512 bytes –Allocation blocks are a set of logical blocks

16. Understand Macintosh File Structure

17. Allocation Blocks – The number of logical blocks assembled in the Macintosh file system when a file is saved. Logical Blocks – In the Macintosh file system, a collection of data that cannot exceed 512 bytes. These are assembled in allocation blocks to store files.

18. Understand Macintosh File Structure

19. Logical EOF – In the Macintosh file system, the number of bytes that contain data. Physical EOF – In the Macintosh file system, the number of allocation blocks assigned to the file. Difference between the two is free space

20. Understand Macintosh File Structure

21. Clumps – In the Macintosh file system, a contiguous allocation block. Clumps are used to keep file fragmentation to a minimum.

22. Explore Macintosh Boot Tasks Master Directory Block (MDB) – On older Macintosh systems, the location where all information about a volume is stored. A copy of the MDB is kept in the next to the last block on the volume. Volume Information Block (VIB) – Another name for the Master Directory Block.

23. Explore Macintosh Boot Tasks Extents Overflow File – Used by the Macintosh File Manager when the list of contiguous blocks of a file becomes too long. The overflow of the list is placed in the extents overflow file. Any file extents not in the MDB or VCB are contained here.

24. Explore Macintosh Boot Tasks Volume Control Block (VCB) – Contains information from the MDB and is used by the File Manager in the Macintosh file system. Catalog – Is used to maintain the relationships between files and directories on a volume. Volume Bitmap – Tracks each block on a volume. B*-Tree – Organizes the directory hierarchy and file block mapping for the File Manager. Header Node – Stores information about the B*-Tree file.

61. Chapter Summary -The Macintosh uses a hierarchical file system where files are stored in folders, which can be nested in other folders. The File Manager handles the reading, writing, and storage of data to physical media. -In the Mac OS, a file consists of two parts: a data fork and a resource fork. The resource fork contains a resource map and resource header information for each file, window locations, and icons. The data fork typically contains data that the user creates, such as text or spreadsheets.

62. Chapter Summary -A volume is any storage media that is used to store files. -Volumes have allocation blocks and logical blocks. A logical block is a collection of data that cannot exceed 512 bytes. An allocation block is a group of consecutive logical blocks. -For older Macintosh operating systems, the first two logical blocks on each volume are the boot blocks, which contain information about the system startup. The startup block contains information about the system configuration.

63. Chapter Summary -The Linux second extended file system uses inodes. When the internal link count reaches “0”, a file is considered to be deleted. -The Linux file structure is made up of meta-data and data. Meta-data includes items such as the user ID and group ID. An inode contains the modification/access/creation time, not a filename. -Compact discs and digital video discs are optical media used to store large amounts of data. They are regulated by the ISO 9660 and ISO 13346. -SCSI connectors are used for a variety of peripheral devices.
