An extension file system (EFS) manages files and memory on a hard drive using contiguous areas of memory called extents, allowing larger files to be stored in a single location and reducing fragmentation. This can increase speed and extend the life of storage hardware. EFS was originally used in the Unix-like operating system IRIX. An […]
