UFS

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

UFS

(Unix File System) The traditional file system used by Unix systems. Also called "Fast File System" (FFS) and "Berkeley FFS," the major difference between UFS and the earlier "FF" versions was to break up the disk into small chunks called "cylinder groups." Each cylinder group contains its own indexes and data blocks in order to prevent excessive disk thrashing on large volumes. UFS and the ext2 file system used in Linux are very similar (see ext2). Numerous proprietary implementations of UFS exist, and Sun added journaling to UFS in Solaris 7 (see journaling file system). See file system.

Engineered for sport and recreation facilities, the UFS Sporthall[TM] provides the perfect structural solution for bringing an outdoor game or activity into an indoor environment.
Also, because these systems leverage general file systems, such as UFS, JFS, NFS, and NTFS, users will need to create and manage multiple file systems, as well as the volumes contained within the file systems, as their data volumes increase.
The UFS avoided war for centuries but spent a fortune on a military deterrent leading to a collective national ego believing that the country had military superiority over everyone.
