I would never use "filesystem" because I think it is incorrect. It just
looks wrong, and I think this is because it is wrong, generally speaking.

What about "Operating system" vs. "Operatingsystem?" If there is a rule
that covers how File system is spelled, wouldn't those same rules apply
to Operatingsystem? I cringe whenever I see filesystem. What about
filesizes or filemenu? Sorry folks, filesystem is wrong :>)

I also Googled file system and filesystem. I had 14,000,000 for file
system and 3,740,000 for filesystem. So apparently, File system is the
winner.

I often search for "harleydavidson" and many pages are returned. You will
often find the company name spelled that way on the site pages. This does
not mean that harleydavidson is acceptable.
