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)
“Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
