It is useful because in the case where you need to restore data from any storage device no matter what file system they're formatted in, you will be able to retrieve data.

Why do some systems keep track of the type file while others leave it to the user or simply do not implement multiple file types?

Some systems keep track of file types to enhance usability and ensure compatibility, automating the organization and handling of various file formats. This can simplify user interactions and reduce errors associated with misidentifying file types. In contrast, other systems may leave it to the user to manage file types to maintain flexibility or to minimize complexity in design, especially in environments where file types are less critical. Additionally, some systems may not implement multiple file types due to resource constraints or a focus on specific use cases.


How are file systems treated under Linux?

Most file systems are treated almost exactly like drivers or kernel modules. Some can also be implemented in userspace (ex. FUSE).

How can the modified date and the created time be different?

Simplistically, this is a function of the data stored on the 'file system' itself. There are many types of 'file systems' usually associated with the operating systems they are most commonly used with. A few of these are the FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems, (most commonly used by Microsoft Windows operating systems) and the ext2, ext3 and Reiser file systems (most commonly used with Linux and/or other open source operating systems). There are many, many more as well. Some file systems may store only the 'creation date' (e.g. the date and time the file was originally created) and/or the 'last modified date' (e.g. the date and time the file was last changed). Other file systems may store the above data as well as other information such as the 'access date' (e.g. the last date and time the file was accessed - whether or not the file was changed or just opened and closed). Depending on the complexity and sophistication of the file system, other information may be stored as well as is often the case with 'journelled file systems'. [JMH]

How do conventional file systems react to disconnected systems?

Conventional file systems typically rely on a constant connection to a storage medium, which can lead to issues when a system becomes disconnected. When a disconnection occurs, these file systems may prevent data access, result in data loss, or cause corruption if changes are made during the disconnection. They often lack the mechanisms to handle synchronization and data consistency in offline scenarios, leading to potential conflicts once the connection is restored. Some modern file systems and cloud solutions, however, include features for handling disconnections through caching and synchronization processes.


What are some of reasons why we study sociology of education?

Studying the sociology of education helps us understand how education systems impact individuals and society, including issues of inequality, social mobility, and power dynamics. It also provides insights into how education influences social structures, cultural norms, and identity formation. Additionally, it helps to inform policy and practice in fostering more equitable and effective educational systems.
