Data regarding tracking file updates on linux networking environment

could anyone Explain me with how the linux o/s keeps track of file
updates in network environment? for example, assume that more than one
computer is connected to network (with linux in all of them). if an
user say 'X' logged into terminal 1 and created a file with the name
of 'temp.txt'. The file would be stored in his computer's local hard
disk. right? then, how come the 'temp.txt' file would still be
accessible if user 'X' logs on to different terminal say terminal 2
(Eventhough it doesn't have file 'temp.txt' in it's local
harddisk)?? . Assume that we are not doing any explicit transfer of
file.

any help with my problem will be greatly appreciated..

NAME
mkfs.bfs - make an SCO bfs filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.bfs [options] device [block-count] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.bfs creates an SCO bfs filesystem on a block device (usually a disk partition or a file accessed via the loop device). The block-count parameter is the desired size of the filesystem, in blocks. If nothing is specified, the entire partition will be used. OPTIONS
-N, --inodes number Specify the desired number of inodes (at most 512). If nothing is specified, some default number in the range 48-512 is picked depending on the size of the partition. -V, --vname label Specify the volume label. I have no idea if/where this is used. -F, --fname name Specify the filesystem name. I have no idea if/where this is used. -v, --verbose Explain what is being done. -c This option is silently ignored. -l This option is silently ignored. -h, --help Display help text and exit. -V, --version Display version information and exit. Option -V only works as --version when it is the only option. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.bfs is 0 when all went well, and 1 when something went wrong. SEE ALSO
mkfs(8) AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.bfs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux July 2011 MKFS.BFS(8)
