Since the data is scattered in various files and files may be in different formats, writting new application program to retrieve the appropriate data is difficult in file system thus the data is isolated... Hope u got it... Nitin(Kotdwara)
In file processing system a permanent system file is created for every new object. Application softwares are used to manipulate these files. SO characteristics (Some of them became its drawbacks) of file processing system are:- 1)Data redundancy and inconsistency 2)Difficulty in accessing data 3)Data isolation ie. data is in different formats and files. In database system these issues where addressed, by data abstraction. In DBMS, data is stored using 3 levels of abstraction 1)Physical Level : How data is stored 2)Conceptual level : What data is stored, relationship between data 3)View Level : What is visible to different users.
Master file. This file contains the permanent information for an organization or system, and it is updated by processing transactions that modify data within the system.
In File System, files are used to store data while, collections of databases are utilized for the storage of data in DBMS. Although File System and DBMS are two ways of managing data, DBMS clearly has many advantages over File Systems. Typically when using a File System, most tasks such as storage, retrieval and search are done manually and it is quite tedious whereas a DBMS will provide automated methods to complete these tasks. Because of this reason, using a File System will lead to problems like data integrity, data inconsistency and data security, but these problems could be avoided by using a DBMS. Unlike File System, DBMS are efficient because reading line by line is not required and certain control mechanisms are in place.
file oriented system is manual file maintain system that keep records in hard bind documents. database is computer based structurally logically ordered data with the help of DBMS. This prior answer is partially incorrect. File oriented systems are data systems that depended on sequential, ISAM(indexed sequential access method), and VSAM(visual storage access method) files without the benefits of database technology.
Both traditional file systems and database systems store and organize data in a structured manner. They both provide mechanisms for data retrieval and manipulation, and offer a way to manage and secure data. Additionally, both systems require a schema or structure to define how data is organized and related within the system.
data redundancy and data isolation
* Data redundancy and inconsistency. * Data isolation * Problem in atomicity of data * Difficulty to access data. * Security Problems
A disadvantage of a traditional file system is human error. When a file is filed in the wrong place it can be a long time before the file is located. Another disadvantage is the possibility of fire destroying the records. An advantage to this type of filing system is that there is a hard copy of everything that is filed. A file can be copied for several users of the file.
File processing system is inconsistent and disintegrared.It is difficult to access and may be present on different platforms which would not allow to integrate data
Traditional file processing system lacks from DBMS in many ways . Major Disadvantage of FPS are it do not maintains data security and integrity efficiently.

I assume you are talking about manually mounting a file system one at a time; in that case, the disadvantage is time, and the fact that you need to type in the commands.
The data file cannot be recovered.
While the NT File System (NTFS) is better than the FAT16 system, it does have some disadvantages. NTFS has a high space overhead that cannot be used to store data.

* Separation and isolation of data * Duplication of data * Data dependence * Incompatibility of files * Fixed queries / proliferation of application programs
