Sistema de archivos
Un sistema de archivos es una forma de organizar datos que se espera mantener cuando un programa termina y que ofrece formas de almacenar, recuperar y actualizar los datos así como gestionar el espacio dispnible en el o los dispositivos que lo albergan.
Linux dispone de unos cuantos sistemas de archivos cada uno con sus propias ventajas y desventajas teniendo en cuenta los casos de uso que se apliquen.

Información general
Flash memory filesystems
The following flash memory filesystems are designed to be used on embedded flash memory known as MTDs; they are not intended to be used for USB based flash drives, SD cards, or other types of removable flash block devices.
Name | Userspace package | Description |
---|---|---|
JFFS2 | Journalling Flash File System version 2. | |
YAFFS | sys-fs/yaffs2utils | Yet Another Flash File System. |
Sistemas de archivos en disco

FAT | sys-fs/dosfstools | The File Allocation Table (FAT) filesystem. Originally created for use with Microsoft Windows. |
GFS2 | Global File System 2: A shared disk filesystem. Typically used in compute clusters. | |
HFS | sys-fs/hfsutils | Hierarchical File System (HFS). Originally created for use with the Macintosh System Software, later renamed to Mac OS (Classic). |
HFS+ | sys-fs/hfsplusutils | The successor to HFS, introduced in Mac OS 8.1 and default filesystem for Mac OS X until macOS 10.12 Sierra. |
JFS | sys-fs/jfsutils | A GPL licensed, 64-bit Journaled File System (JFS) developed by IBM.[3] |

OCFS2 | Oracle Cluster File System version 2. | |
OverlayFS | The only union-like filesystem built-in to the Linux kernel. | |
ReiserFS | sys-fs/reiserfsprogs | Version 3 of the ReiserFS filesystem. Scheduled for removal from the kernel in 2025. |
SquashFS | sys-fs/squashfs-tools, sys-fs/squashfs-tools-ng | A compressed, read-only file system for Linux[4] |
UDF | sys-fs/udftools | Universal Disk Format - needed for mounting some kind of .iso files |
UFS | The Unix File System (UFS) also called the Berkeley Fast File System. | |
XFS | sys-fs/xfsprogs | A GPL licensed, 64-bit journaling filesystem created by Silicon Graphics.[5] |
ZFS | sys-fs/zfs | A CDDL (non-GPL compatible) licensed, copy-on-write filesystem created by Sun Microsystems[6]. |
Sistemas de archivosvirtuales
Virtual filesystems, also called pseudo filesystems, are for storing temporary data in memory while the system is running.
Name | Userspace package | Description |
---|---|---|
debugfs | Used for debugging purposes; primarily Linux kernel development. | |
procfs | Used to output and change of system and process information. | |
securityfs | Used by the TPM BIOS character driver, AppArmor and IMA, an integrity provider.[7] | |
sysfs | Used to output information about and to configure devices and drivers. | |
tmpfs | Used to store files in memory (RAM). | |
devtmpfs | udev requires devtmpfs (Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev) in the kernel. |
Sistemas de archivos en red
Name | Userspace package | Description |
---|---|---|

NFS | net-fs/nfs-utils | A common Linux network file system protocol. |
Samba | net-fs/samba | A re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol. |
Sistemas de archivos basados en FUSE
Name | Userspace package | Description |
---|---|---|

Utilización
Montaje
Los sistemas de archivos de se pueden montar de diferentes formas:
- mount. La orden utilizada para montar manualmente los sistemas de archivos. Se necesitan privilegios de administración o entradas en /etc/fstab.
- /etc/fstab. Contiene información descriptiva acerca de cómo se pueden montar los sistemas de archivos.
- Medios extraíbles. Montar bajo demanda de archivos.
- Udevil - Una pequeña utilidad de automontaje con pocas dependencias.
- AutoFS. Montaje automático cuando se accede a un archivo.
