Usually one refers to "how data is organized on disk" as "filesystem",
like in "UFS, or ext2 filesystem" for instance.  "File" and "system" are
also distinct words.  ispell, which I use to spell-check my outgoing mail,
accepts "filesystem" just fine.

I wonder what original [ancient] UNIX specs did say...
