Glossary-37
file system
file system. In the Open System Services (OSS) environment, a collection of files and file
attributes. A file system provides the namespace for the file serial numbers that
uniquely identify its files. Open System Services provides a file system (see also
ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 [ANSI/IEEE Std. 1003.1-1990], Clause 2.2.2.38); the
Guardian application program interface (API) provides a file system; and OSS Network
File System (NFS) provides a file system. (OSS NFS filenames and pathnames are
governed by slightly different rules than OSS filenames and pathnames.) Within the
OSS and OSS NFS file systems, filesets exist as manageable objects.
On an HP NonStop™ system, the Guardian file system for a node is a subset of the
OSS virtual file system. Traditionally, the API for file access in the Guardian
environment is referred to as the
Guardian file system.
In some UNIX and NFS implementations, the term
file system means the same thing
as
fileset. That is, a file system is a logical grouping of files that, except for the root of
the file system, can be contained only by directories within the file system. See also
fileset
.
File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM). The Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
for network file exchange and management services.
file transfer protocol (FTP). (1) The Internet-standard, high-level protocol for transferring
files from one machine to another. The server side requires the client to supply a logon
identifier and password before it honors requests. FTP makes no assumptions about
the file-naming structure of the source and destination systems, and it allows the file
names of each system to be represented in the vernacular. (2) The application used to
send complete files over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
services.
filler panel. A blank faceplate that is installed in place of a ServerNet adapter or plug-in
card (PIC) to ensure proper ventilation.
fingerprint. A unique identifier calculated for a file and displayed in hexadecimal format.
FIPS. A Federal Information Processing Standard of the United States government.
FIPS 151-1. The Federal Information Processing Standard that specifies the requirements
for conformance to an older draft of POSIX.1 (IEEE Std. 1003.1-1988) than the version
adopted as ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 and imposes some additional requirements.
FIPS 151-2. The Federal Information Processing Standard that specifies the requirements
for conformance to POSIX.1 as ISO/IEC IS 9945-1:1990 and imposes some additional
requirements.
FIR. See FRU information record (FIR).
