Playstation File System (PFS) is the filesystem used by the PlayStation 2. It is a custom filesystem which sits on top of the Aligned Partition Allocation partition system. PFS is a 64-bit journaling file system, with similar characteristics to *nix filesystems such as EXT2. The maximum possible size of the filesystem is technically 2TB. The maximum file size is also 2TB. While PFS is a 64-bit filesystem, the unit of a single read/write/seek operation is only 32 bits.
Famous quotes containing the words file and/or system:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)
