The File System is the most visible aspect of an operating system. It provides the
mechanism for on-line storage of and access to both data and programs of the operating
system and all the users of the computer system. Files store information. When it
is used, this information must be accessed and read into computer memory. The information
in the file can be accessed in several ways. The access methods I will discuss today
are: Sequential and Direct Access.
