How to View File Types in Linux

Article Title: how to view the file types in Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Different Versions of Linux support different types of file systems. How do I know the file system types of Linux releases? The following uses Mandrake Linux as an example to explain how to perform this operation.

Log on to Linux as a Super User, go to the/Lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/fs directory, and run the following command:

# Ls

Note that the locations of fs directories in different Linux releases may be somewhat different. The file system types supported by the current system are displayed in/Lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/fs.

The file system is the method and data structure used by the operating system to clarify files on disks or partitions, that is, the method to organize files on disks. A file system is an important part of the entire operating system and a basic condition for the normal operation of the operating system. Understanding the Linux file system is very important for in-depth study and research on Linux.

The Linux system core supports more than 10 file system types: JFS, ReiserFS, ext, ext2, ext3, ISO9660, XFS, Minx, MSDOS, UMSDOS, VFAT, NTFS, HPFS, NFS, SMB, SysV, PROC, etc.

In Linux, each partition is a file system with its own directory hierarchy. One of the most important features of Linux is its support for multiple file systems, which are more flexible and can coexist with many other operating systems. Virtual File System (Virtual File System) allows Linux to support multiple different File systems. Since the system has converted all the details of the Linux File System, other Linux core components and programs running in the system will see a unified file system. Linux's Virtual File System allows users to transparently install many different file systems at the same time. The Virtual File System is designed to provide fast and efficient file access services for Linux users.
