Question
Which of the following are true?
The bytes stored by a file typically do not have any particular meaning to a file system. The bytes are only meaningful to users or programs that read the file's contents.
In many Unix/Linux file systems, every Unix/Linux file (including directories) has a parent directory that it belongs to. Every directory contains two special entries:
(i) the dot, '..', refers to itself -- a self-loop; and
(ii) the dot-dot, '.', refers to the parent directory.
Linux internally identifies every file with an i-number. Two different files within the same file system volume will have different i-numbers. There is a one-to-one correspondence between files and i-nodes.
In many Unix/Linux file systems, every directory is a file. So, when we wish to discuss a non-directory file we sometimes use the term "ordinary" file.
In Linux, hard links can cross file systems.
File systems do not restricts the characters that may appear in file name base names.
It is possible to have one physical disk partition shared by multiple operating systems simultaneously.
Many different file systems exist. Some conserve storage space more effectively than others. Some provide better security features than others. Some enable faster access to file content than others.
In both Windows and Linux, a soft link can identify a file or directory on a remote server.
In almost every file system, files form a hierarchical tree - all internal nodes are directories, all ordinary files are leaves, and some leaf nodes are empty directories.
An i-node is an index into a table that contains metadata such as the locations of a file's contents on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD).
A directory should be thought of as a table of two columns: first column lists the names of files, and the second lists the corresponding i-number. The internal order of the rows of this table is unimportant.

Explanation / Answer
Answer)
1) True. The byte is mostly meant for user's or program that access the file's content.
3) True. Linux mostly identifies the integer node which is referred to as i-node.
4) True. In most of the Linux/Unix, the file and directory are not differentiated.
5) False. Hardlinks are created for any files and for other hard links as well.
