Description
Documentation needs consistent terminology. Decide the term to use across all documents.
This is another, infinitely deep, bike shedding venue. See here: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.folklore.computers/c/k4TI3jtXAMI/m/JgF_6f9EcPUJ
Here's some data:
- The IEEE 1003.1 standard consistently uses file system (I have access and checked).
- Old SunOS man pages are 80% in favor of file system.
