Being a novice I am trying to learn about different file systems, can someone please explain the differences between the file storage used by UNIX and the NTFS system of file storage used by NT. Thankx Marco

Sounds like a homework assignment. Theres plenty of info on the internet

Well, for starters, NTFS is a local file system, meaning the unlying persisent storage is a disk attached directly to the machine, NFS is a file system presented to the workstation across the network. Regarding UFS, or the Unix file system and NTFS, they are very close. Each has roots extending back to BSD's Fast File System (FFS). OS/2 put some spins on this, but it's hardly noticable, then Microsoft grabed the OS2 high performance file system and used it... OK, at the guts, both file systems (NTFS and UFS) break storage up into groupings, somethings called cylinders (do not confuse with the physical media's use of the cylinders) and and then when a file is written to the disk it's distributed across the cylinders... That's a loose, quick discussion... r/
