The following is a list of file systems.
=Disk file systems=
*ADFS – Acorn Computers Ltd s Advanced Disc filing system, successor to ADFS. *Be File System – the Be File System used on BeOS *EFS – Encrypted filesystem, An extension of NTFS *EFS (IRIX) – an older block filing system under IRIX. *Extended file system – Extended filesystem, designed for Linux systems *Ext2 – Second extended filesystem, designed for Linux systems. *Ext3 – Name for the Journalling file system form of ext2. *File Allocation Table – Used on DOS and Microsoft Windows, 12, 16 and 32 bit table depths *Amiga Fast File System – Fast File System, used on Amiga systems. This FS has evolved over time. Now counts FFS1, FFS Intl, FFS DCache, FFS2. *Berkeley Fast File System – Fast File System, used on *BSD systems *Fossil (file system) – Plan 9 from Bell Labs snapshot archival file system. *OpenVMS filesystem – OpenVMS filesystem *Group Code Recording – Group Code Recording, a floppy disk data encoding format used by the Apple II and Commodore Business Machines in the 5¼ disk drives for their 8-bit computers. *Hierarchical File System – Hierarchical File System, used on older Mac OS systems *HFS Plus – Updated version of HFS used on newer Mac OS systems *HPFS – High Performance Filesystem, used on OS/2 *ISO 9660 – Used on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs (Rock Ridge and Joliet are extensions to this) *JFS – IBM Journaling Filesystem, provided in Linux, OS/2, and AIX operating system *Log-structured File System – 4.4BSD implementation of a log-structured file system *Macintosh File System – Macintosh File System, used on early Mac OS systems *Minix file system – Used on Minix systems *NTFS – Used on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems *Novell Storage Services – Novell Storage Services. This is a new 64-bit journaling filesystem using a balanced tree algorithm. Used in Novell NetWare versions 5.0-up and recently ported to Linux. *Amiga Old File System – Old File System, on Amiga. Nice for floppies, but fairly useless on hard drives. *Professional File System – and PFS2, PFS3, etc. Technically interesting filesystem available for the Amiga, performs very well under a lot of circumstances. Very simple and elegant. *ReiserFS – Filesystem that uses journaling *Reiser4 – Filesystem that uses journaling, newest version of ReiserFS *Smart File System – Smart File System, journaled file system available for the Amiga platforms. *Universal Disk Format – Packet based filesystem for WORM/RW media such as CD-RW and DVD. *Unix File System – Unix Filesystem, used on older BSD systems *UFS2 – Unix Filesystem, used on newer BSD systems *UMSDOS – FAT filesystem extended to store permissions and metadata, used for Linux. *Veritas_File_System – Veritas Software file system, first commercial journaling file system; HP-UX, Solaris_Operating_Environment, Linux, AIX operating system *Virtual storage access method *XFS – Used on Silicon Graphics IRIX and Linux systems *ZFS – Used on Solaris_Operating_Environment 10
