<h1 class="topictitle1">What the integrated file system is</h1>
|
|
<div><p>The <dfn class="term">integrated file system</dfn> is
|
|
a part of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> that supports
|
|
stream input/output and storage management similar to personal computer and UNIX<sup>®</sup> operating
|
|
systems, while providing an integrating structure over all information stored
|
|
in your server.</p>
|
|
<p>The integrated file system comprises 11 file systems, each with their own
|
|
set of logical structures and rules for interacting with information in storage. </p>
|
|
<p>The key features of the integrated file system are the following features:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Support for storing information in stream files that can contain long
|
|
continuous strings of data. These strings of data might be, for example,
|
|
the text of a document or the picture elements in a picture. The stream file
|
|
support is designed for efficient use in client/server applications.</li>
|
|
<li>A hierarchical directory structure that allows objects to be organized
|
|
like fruit on the branches of a tree. Specifying the path through the directories
|
|
to an object accesses the object.</li>
|
|
<li>A common interface that allows users and applications to access not only
|
|
the stream files but also database files, documents, and other objects that
|
|
are stored in your server.</li>
|
|
<li>A common view of stream files that are stored locally on your server, <span class="keyword">Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> Server for iSeries™</span>, or a remote Windows
|
|
NT<sup>®</sup> server. Stream files can also be stored remotely on a local area network
|
|
(LAN) server, a Novell NetWare server, another remote iSeries server, or a Network File System
|
|
(NFS) server.</li>
|
|
</ul>
