filesystems


Linux supports numerous file system types

  • Ext2: This is like UNIX file system. It has the concepts of blocks, inodes and directories.

  • Isofs (iso9660): Used by CDROM file system.
  • Sysfs: It is a ram-based filesystem initially based on ramfs. It is use to exporting kernel objects so that end user can use it easily.
  • Procfs: The proc file system acts as an interface to internal data structures in the kernel. It can be used to obtain information about the system and to change certain kernel parameters at runtime using sysctl command. For example you can find out cpuinfo with following command:
