Answer 2

In the original Unix file system, Unix divided physical disks into logical disks called partitions. Each partition is a standalone file system. We will use the term ``file system'' when referring to a single partition.

Each filesystem contains:

1.A boot block located in the first few sectors of a file system. The boot block contains the initial bootstrap program used to load the operating system.

Typically, the first sector contains a bootstrap program that reads in a larger bootstrap program from the next few sectors, and so forth.

2.A super block describes the state of the file system: the total size of the partition, the block size, pointers to a list of free blocks, the inode number of the root directory, magic number, etc.
