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:
“I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled “Science Fiction” ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“The golden mean in ethics, as in physics, is the centre of the system and that about which all revolve, and though to a distant and plodding planet it be an uttermost extreme, yet one day, when that planet’s year is completed, it will be found to be central.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
