Disk file systems

  • BFS – the Be File System used on BeOS
  • DFSADFS Acorn filing systems.
  • EFS – Encrypted filesystem, An extension of NTFS
  • EFS (IRIX) – an older block filing system under IRIX.
  • Ext – Extended filesystem, designed for Linux systems
  • Ext2 – Extended filesystem 2, designed for Linux systems
  • Ext3 – Extended filesystem 3, designed for Linux systems, (ext2+journalling)
  • FAT – Used on DOS and Microsoft Windows, 12 and 16 bit table depths
  • FAT32 – FAT with 32 bit table depth
  • FFS (Amiga) – Fast File System, used on Amiga systems. Nice for floppies, but fairly useless on hard drives.
  • FFS – Fast File System, used on *BSD systems
  • Files-11OpenVMS filesystem
  • HFS – Hierarchical File System, used on older Mac OS systems
  • HFS Plus – Used on newer Mac OS systems
  • HFSXcase sensitive variant of HFS+
  • HPFS – High Performance Filesystem, used on OS/2
  • ISO 9660 – Used on CD and DVD-ROM discs (Rock Ridge and Joliet are extensions to this)
  • JFS – Journaling Filesystem, provided in Linux, OS/2, and AIX
  • kfs
  • LFS – Log-structured filesystem
  • MFS – Macintosh File System, used on early Mac OS systems
  • Minix file system – Used on Minix systems
  • NTFS – Used on Windows NT based systems
  • OFS – Old File System, on Amiga.
  • PFS – 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 which uses journaling
  • Reiser4 – Filesystem which uses journaling, newest version of ReiserFS
  • SFS – Safe File System, available for the Amiga.
  • Sprite – The original log-structured filesystem.
  • UDF – Packet based filesystem for WORM/RW media such as CD-RW and DVD.
  • UFS – 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.
  • XFS – Used on IRIX systems
