A file system is a collection on BOOT BLOCK, SUPER BLOCK, I-LIST and DIRECTORY AND DATA BLOCK. Every directory have a pointer to a i-node(Information node) number and the directory name. Every i-node have the details about the file not the data. That is i-node contains file name, date of creation, permission bit, etc and a pointer to the data block. (I-LIST contains the collection of i-nodes).
