They organize the data on your hard drive. They help your computer tell where a file has been stored and where to store other files. Think of it as a parking garage. No parking garage/lines and cars go all over the place.

How can you recover the overwritten files in SCO Unix HTFS file system?

AnswerRecovering any 'deleted' and/or 'overwritten' file in a typical Unix system is problematic and much more difficult to do reliably than it is with, say, a typical Windows system. This is a function of the way the files are stored on a Unix system, not a problem with, or feature of, the operating system itself. I suggest you obtain and study Wietse Venema's TCT (The Coroner's Toolkit) for further information. [JMH]

What is the full form of mca?

The Region file format is a storage format for Minecraft chunks introduced in Minecraft Beta 1.3, in which groups of 32×32 chunks are stored in a region file rather than individually. It could be said that a region is a part of a file system where the header is positions for each file and sector is the allocation size. The system is based on McRegion,[1] a mod by Scaevolus, also known for his development of the Optimine project. The McRegion format was adopted nearly unchanged, except for the addition of a table of chunk update timestamps. JahKob claims that this format is up to 7 times faster than the previous system.[2]As of Minecraft 1.2, the Region file format has been superseded by the Anvil file format; however, the Anvil file format only made changes to the Chunk format and only changed the region file extensions from ".mcr" to ".mca".

What is the difference between hidden files and system files?

System files are files the operating system needs to function (and they may be hidden). Hidden files are those files that are not displayed when you show a directory listing. A file can be both a system file and a hidden file, but a hidden file does not have to be a system file, nor does a system file need to be hidden.
