Description: A logical file system is an abstraction layer that provides a way to manage files and directories independently of physical storage. This abstraction allows users and applications to interact with data without needing to know the underlying hardware details. Logical file systems organize information into hierarchical structures, facilitating the creation, deletion, modification, and access to files and folders. Additionally, they implement features such as access permissions, space management, and error recovery, contributing to data integrity and security. The separation between the logical and physical file systems allows operating systems to be more flexible and portable, as they can adapt to different types of storage devices without affecting how users interact with data. This abstraction layer is fundamental in data management, as it optimizes the use of available storage space and improves the efficiency of information retrieval, allowing multiple processes to access the same data simultaneously without conflicts.
