What makes a filesystem a filesystem and how do they work in general?

IMO, books about computers are overrated unless they have some huge API reference included or whatever. (At the very least, read some reviews at Amazon or BUY.com or check out used book stores/sales or even your local library before buying anything impulsively.) Books are big business, and sometimes overpriced (ahem, K&R2, I'm talking to you.) |

Thanks for the various tips, but I think I'm gaining more of an idea as to how they work in general by trying to design my own, which so far is going okay.
