# File system

| # | Concern | Description |
|---|---------|-------------|
| 1 | Limited Storage Capacity | Embedded devices often have limited storage, necessitating efficient management of filesystem space. |
| 2 | Filesystem Compatibility | The filesystem must be compatible with the embedded device's operating system and hardware. |
| 3 | Data Integrity and Reliability | Ensuring data integrity, especially under harsh conditions or power fluctuations, is crucial. |
| 4 | Performance Constraints | Optimized filesystem operations are necessary due to the limited processing power and memory of embedded devices. |
| 5 | Security Concerns | The filesystem should provide robust security features for handling sensitive data. |
| 6 | Wear Leveling and Longevity | Implementing wear leveling is important in devices using flash memory to extend its lifespan. |
| 7 | Update and Maintenance Challenges | Updating the application or filesystem can be challenging, particularly in remotely deployed devices. |
| 8 | Limited Debugging and Diagnostic Tools | Embedded systems may lack comprehensive tools for troubleshooting filesystem issues. |
| 9 | Real-Time Requirements | Filesystem operations must not interfere with the real-time performance of the system. |
| 10 | Customization and Scalability | The filesystem may need customization and should be scalable for future enhancements. |
