What file system is linux?

Theres a few, ext2 or ext3 are probably the most common.

reiser and jfs are a couple more....

You can also use fat and NTFS (read only).

In 2.6 kernel there is a test mode for read/write for NTFS.

Linux also has 3rd party support for many more:

Hidden W95 FAT32, DiskSecure Mult, Hidden W95 FAT16, PC/IX, XENIX root, NEC DOS, Old Minix, DRDOS/sec, XENIX usr, Minix / old Linux, FAT16 <32M, PartitionMagic, Linux swap, Venix 80286, Linux, Syrinx, FAT16, PPC PReP Boot, OS/2 hidden C:, HPFS/NTFS, SFS, Linux extended, CP/M / CTOS / ., Novell Netware.........( I got this off of the fdisk program)

Do you get the point.

Remeber the main ones being use:

ext2, ext3, reiser, and jfs

/boot ext2
