There are three important parts:
Superblock (only one of these)
Inodes (one per file)
Data blocks (the rest of the disk)
The superblock represents the entire filesystem
Each inode represents a single file
These belong to the system---they have a fixed format
You cannot read or write them directly
The data blocks belong to the user
That's where the data is stored
Typically, 8kb each
