I'm trying to understand this.
Let's say Windows for example. It uses NTFS
. If one attached a USB stick to their computer, this file system would most likely be FAT32
. Or if we were connected to a remote server using ZFS
for example it can still pick up data such as files from different file systems.
How would a operating system understand a different file system to the one it is primarily using is connected, and be able to pick up the data that it wants, as if it was all the same file system.
