Feature Required

Data Structures for Storage Management:
- Implementing appropriate data structures like B-trees or indexed allocation methods for efficient storage and retrieval of files.
- Designing structures for metadata storage (file attributes, permissions, timestamps) to facilitate quick access and modification.
Allocation Strategies:
- Defining allocation strategies for disk space (e.g., contiguous, linked, indexed) to optimize storage efficiency and reduce fragmentation.
- Handling file growth and shrinkage dynamically while maintaining performance.
Error Handling and Recovery:
- Incorporating mechanisms for error detection and recovery to ensure data integrity in case of system crashes or failures.
- Implementing journaling or logging mechanisms to track changes and facilitate rollback in case of failures.
Concurrency Control:
- Managing concurrent access to the file system to avoid data corruption or inconsistencies.
- Implementing locking mechanisms or transactional support to handle multiple users or processes accessing the file system simultaneously.
Security and Access Control:
- Integrating mechanisms for access control (permissions, ownership) to protect files and directories from unauthorized access.
- Ensuring robust security measures to prevent data breaches or unauthorized modifications.
Performance Optimization:
- Optimizing file access operations (read, write, delete) for speed and efficiency.
- Minimizing overhead and latency in file system operations through efficient algorithms and caching mechanisms.
Scalability and Extensibility:
- Designing the file system to be scalable as storage needs grow over time.
- Allowing for easy extension or modification of features without disrupting existing functionalities.
