To complete this week$$s interactive assignment, you will continue building the OS Theory Concept Map by addressing the following topics concerning files, mass storage, and I$/$O:

Outline the objectives and functions of file systems management and the supported operations, including their reliability and performance.

Contrast different directory structures and create unique diagrams to illustrate an example of each directory structure $($similar to Figures $10\mathrm{.}9,10\mathrm{.}10,10\mathrm{.}11,10\mathrm{.}12,$ and $10\mathrm{.}13$ in your textbook$).$ Insert these images as nodes of your concept map. To create your diagrams, you can choose to use a graphics editing software $($PowerPoint$,$ Paint, PhotoShop, etc.$),$ an online mapping software tool $($draw$.$ioLinks to an external site.$),$ or even upload a photo of a hand$-$drawn sketch.

Describe different types of input$/$output devices, distinguishing between the hardware and software layers and summarizing the integration across I$/$O and memory components.

Logically arrange the essential concepts about files, mass storage, and I$/$O into a hierarchy of nodes that branch from the main idea. Include cross$-$links where necessary to show relationships in different sections of the concept map. Use connecting nodes to accurately describe each relationship between topics that connect. Section $4$ must have at least three nodes and at least four connecting nodes.
