File System Operations  

1.1.1  File System Overview 

A major function of the file system is to manage storage devices. It allows you to 

perform operations such as directory create and delete, and file copy and display. If an 

operation, delete or overwrite for example, may cause problems such as data loss or 

corruption, the file system will ask you to confirm the operation by default. 

Depending on the managed object, file system operations fall into
