Aspects of the file system

File name

No matter whether a file system has a storage media or not, the file system
generally has a directory that match the file name and file, usually by connecting
the file name and an index file.

Metadata

Other information stored usually associated with the file type in the file system.
The length of data contained in a file can be saved as a number of blocks
reserved for file or as a count byte. The time at which the last modified files can
be saved as a timestamp of the files. Some file system also stores the file
creation time, last accessed time, and the time at which the meta data of the
file is converted. Other information includes media file types (block, character,
sockets, subdirectories), User-ID and Group owner-ID, and setting its access
permissions (read only, executeble,etc)
