The structure and size of a file depends on the underlying file system—the subsystem that persists the file data to a physical device.
文件的结构和大小取决于底层文件系统 — 即把文件数据存储到物理设备上的子系统。
If the file system data structures happen to align perfectly with the underlying physical partition size, a read or write of a 4096-byte data structure results in a read or write of a single sector.
如果文件系统数据结构正好与底层物理分区大小一致,对4096字节数据结构的读写会产生对单一扇区的读写。
A Hierarchical file can be stored in a rectangular file structure by storing all units of analysis in a single physical record.
