FAT file system is the most primitive, compatible and simple file system which still sustains in this era on digital devices, such as mini MP3 players, smart phones, and digital cameras. This file system is supported by almost all operating systems because of its simplicity and legacy. This paper presents review of the basic design technique, constraints and formulas of the most important and building block data structure of FAT32 file system; the FAT data structure.

Abstract


FAT file system is the most primitive, compatible and simple file system which still sustains in this era on digital devices, such as mini MP3 players, smart phones, and digital cameras. This file system is supported by almost all operating systems because of its simplicity and legacy. This paper presents review of the basic design technique, constraints and formulas of the most important and building block data structure of FAT32 file system; the FAT data structure.
