Failisüsteemipõhine

Failisüsteemipõhine is an Estonian term that translates to "filesystem-based". It refers to a design or operational approach where a system's functionality, data organization, or access control is primarily determined by the underlying file system structure. This concept is common in computing, where operating systems use file systems to manage how data is stored, retrieved, and organized on storage devices.

In a filesystem-based system, the hierarchy of directories, the naming conventions of files, and the attributes associated with files (such as permissions, timestamps, and ownership) play a crucial role. Applications and users interact with the system by navigating this filesystem, creating, modifying, and deleting files and directories. The way information is structured within the filesystem directly influences how easily it can be accessed and managed.

For example, a database system could be filesystem-based if its tables, indexes, and transaction logs are stored as individual files within a specific directory structure. Similarly, configuration settings for a service might be stored in text files within a designated configuration directory. Access control can also be filesystem-based, where the operating system's file permissions dictate who can read, write, or execute specific files.

The advantages of a filesystem-based approach often include simplicity and compatibility with standard operating system tools. However, it can also lead to limitations in terms of performance for highly transactional workloads, scalability, and complex querying capabilities compared to more specialized data management systems. The term emphasizes the direct reliance on the file system as the primary organizing and management layer.
