| - Apple Mac File running system.
- Macintosh File System (MFS) was the first file system used by Macintosh computers. It was a flat file system (all files were stored by the system on the root level of volumes), but had a mechanism that allowed users to create the appearance of folders in the Finder by renaming the always-present folder "Empty Folder," which would then be re-created. Folders within folders were not supported. MFS internally supported file names up to 255 characters, but the Finder only supported 63 characters and System 7 only supported 31 characters on MFS volumes.
- The Macintosh file system was the earliest file system on the Macintosh. It was eventually replaced by the Hierarchical file system (HFS)., A file on the Macintosh consists of two parts, called forks. The "data fork" contains the data which would normally be stored in the file on other operating systems. The "resource fork" contains a collection of arbitrary attribute/value pairs, including program segments, icon bitmaps, and parametric values. Yet more information regarding Macintosh files is stored by the Finder in a hidden file, called the "Desktop Database".

Folders within folders were not supported. MFS internally supported file names up to 255 characters, but the Finder only supported 63 characters and System 7 only supported 31 characters on MFS volumes. MFS supported resource forks for attaching data and metadata to a file. MFS was the native file system for System 1 and 2. It was replaced by Hierarchical File System (HFS) in System 3, and was supported through Mac OS 8.1.
- The Macintosh file system was the earliest file system on the Macintosh. It was eventually replaced by the Hierarchical file system (HFS)., A file on the Macintosh consists of two parts, called forks. The "data fork" contains the data which would normally be stored in the file on other operating systems. The "resource fork" contains a collection of arbitrary attribute/value pairs, including program segments, icon bitmaps, and parametric values. Yet more information regarding Macintosh files is stored by the Finder in a hidden file, called the "Desktop Database". Because of the complications in storing different parts of a Macintosh file in non-Macintosh file systems that only handle consecutive data in one part, it is common to only send the Data fork or to convert the Macintosh file into some other format before transferring it.
