In computing, a file system or filesystem (often abbreviated to FS or fs) governs file organization and access. A local file system is a capability of...

19 January 2038. The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time—the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970)—and store...
