Chapter 4 . Learning Basic Administration 159 Table 4-4 Supported File System Types Type Description adfs Acorn disk file system, which is the standard file system used on RiscOS operating systems. befs File system used by the BeOS operating system. cifs Common Internet File System (CIFS), the virtual file system used to access servers that comply with the SNIA CIFS specification. CIFS is an attempt to refine and standardize the SMB protocol used by Samba and Windows file sharing. ext3 Ext file systems are the most common in Red Hat and many other Linux systems. The ext3 file system, also called the Third Extended file system, includes journaling features that, compared to ext2, improve a file system s capability to recover from crashes. ext2 The default file system type for earlier Linux systems. Features are the same as ext3, except that ext2 doesn t include journaling features. ext This is the first version of ext3. It is not used very often anymore. iso9660 Evolved from the High Sierra file system (the original standard for CD-ROMs). Extensions to the High Sierra standard (called Rock Ridge extensions) allow iso9660 file systems to support long filenames and UNIX-style information (such as file permissions, ownership, and links). Data CD-ROMs typically use this file system type. kafs AFS client file system. Used in distributed computing environments to share files with Linux, Windows, and Macintosh clients. minix Minix file system type, used originally with the Minix version of UNIX. It supports filenames of up to only 30 characters. msdos An MS-DOS file system. You can use this type to mount floppy disks that come from Microsoft operating systems. vfat Microsoft extended FAT (VFAT) file system. umsdos An MS-DOS file system with extensions to allow features that are similar to UNIX (including long filenames). proc Not a real file system, but rather a file system interface to the Linux kernel. You probably won t do anything special to set up a proc file system. However, the /proc mount point should be a proc file system. Many utilities rely on /proc to gain access to Linux kernel information. reiserfs ReiserFS journaled file system. ReiserFS and ext3 are the most common file system types used with Linux today.
