HFS file system

HFS.png

Development Source: [Unknown]

HFS (Hierarchical File System) is one of the 5 default file systems used in WacOS. If your system is very low end/a virtual machine, this file system will work well on most oldschool virtual machines. It was originally designed for Apple System 2.1 (1985) and isn't fully supported in Mac OS X 10.6 and up, and Windows Vista and up. It is kept for legacy purposes.

Installation notes

It is recommended to only use this file system if you plan to install WacOS inside a virtual machine, or a computer before 2010.

Limitations

The current limitations of this file system are the 65,536 file limit (max amount of files on the drive) and the 2 terabyte hard drive capacity. It was originally designed to run on floppy diskettes, and small hard drives from 1985 to ~2005.

Be careful with year bugs, as this file system only supports dates up to February 6th 2040.

This file system is incompatible with MacOS 10.15 and up, and Windows 7 and up.
