+  <title>What are the different devices in the File Systems tab?</title>
+
+  <p>Each device listed under the <gui>File Systems</gui> tab is a storage disk (like a hard drive or USB memory stick), or a disk partition. For each device, you can see what its total capacity is, how much of its capacity has been used, and some technical information about what <link xref="fs-info">type of filesystem it is</link> and <link xref="fs-info">where it is "mounted"</link>.</p>
+  
+  <p>The disk space on a single physical hard disk can be split up into multiple chunks, called <em>partitions</em>, each of which can be used as if it were a separate disk. If your hard disk has been partitioned (perhaps by you or the computer manufacturer), each partition will be listed separately in the File Systems list.</p>
+  
+  <note>
+    <p>You can manage disks and partitions and see more detailed disk information with the <app>Disks</app> application.</p>
