Is the filesystem on disk?
A disk (e.g., Hard disk drive) has a file system, despite type and usage. Also, it contains information about file size, file name, file location fragment information, and where disk data is stored and also describes how a user or application may access the data.
How much space should be left on a hard drive?
For most HDDs, it is recommended to leave 15% to 20% of a drive empty. The free space on traditional hard drives is important so that Windows could defragment it. A minimum of 15% free space will allow Windows to properly defragment the drive.
What is filesystem table?
The filesystem table is an array of entries that describe each filesystem implementation that is part of the system image.
How much space does NTFS formatting take up?
By default, the maximum cluster size for NTFS under Windows NT 4.0 and later versions of Windows is 4 kilobytes (KB). This is because NTFS file compression is not possible on drives that have a larger cluster size.
