Hi

Here is a sentence:
The Minix filesystem was an efficient and relatively piece of software.
What's the meaning of "bug-free"?

Thanks in advance!
A "bug" in a piece of software is an error. The sentence is saying that the filesystem was efficient and relatively error-free.
So a bug-free filesystem can be said to be a filesystem without any error. Right?
So a bug-free filesystem can be said to be a filesystem without any error. Right?

Specifically without programming errors. It refers to the programming itself and not the design of the program.
To be "free" of something means that you do not have something.

Sugar-free means "without any sugar".
Error-free means "having no errors".

To say that something is "bug free" means that it has no bugs; there is an absence of bugs; the item is without any bugs.
