What is 'record-oriented'?

Answer 1

Here is a pretty good description on a Record-oriented filesystem:

In computer science, a record-oriented filesystem is a file system where files are stored as collections of records. There are several different record formats; the details vary depending on the particular system. In general the formats can be fixed-length or variable length, with different physical organizations or padding mechanisms; metadata may be associated with the file records to define the record length, or the data may be part of the record. Different methods to access records may be provided, for example sequential, by key or by record number.
