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)
“In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
