File system type
EX2/EX3: Is the type of file system that Linux applies to. Because the Ex3 file system has more log records, it is quicker to restore the system. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a new ext3 instead of ext2.
Physical Volume (LVM): This is a mechanism used to elastically adjust file system capacity, which can make your file system larger or smaller without changing the contents of the original archive data!
Software RAID: Using the features of the Linux operating system, software simulation of the function of the disk array!
Swap: Is the memory replacement space! Since swap does not use the mount of the directory tree, there is no need to make a mount point with swap!
VFAT: The type of file system supported by Linux and Windows. If you have both Windows and Linux operating systems in your host drive, you can actually build a VFAT file system for data exchange
