filesystems - Is file system part of operating system?

I was wondering if a file system on a storage device is part of OS?


I don't think it is. Instead it is part of the storage device, and exists outside of any OS although was created by an OS. Is my understanding right?


However in Wikipedia:



Most operating systems provide a file system, as a file system is an integral part of any modern operating system.



For LVM, is it part of the OS? If yes, then the virtual filesystem built on LVM is part of the OS?
