From Gentoo Wiki
- bcachefs - A next generation, robust, high performance filesystem supporting CoW (Copy-on-write), compression, and encryption.
- Cramfs - A memory and space sensitive compressed filesystem that supports random reading. It avoids the block device layer and usefulness in tiny embedded systems with very tight memory constraints.
- eCryptfs - The enterprise cryptographic filesystem for Linux.
- efivarfs - A (U)EFI variable filesystem[1]
- ext4 - The default, GPL licensed journaling filesystem for many Linux distributions.
- FAT - The File Allocation Table (FAT) filesystem. Originally created for use with Microsoft Windows.
- exFAT - Extensible File Allocation Table (exFAT) filesystem by Microsoft, natively supported since Linux 5.7[2]
- HFS - Hierarchical File System (HFS). Originally created for use with the Macintosh System Software, later renamed to Mac OS (Classic).
- HFS+ - The successor to HFS, introduced in Mac OS 8.1 and default filesystem for Mac OS X until macOS 10.12 Sierra.
- JFS - A GPL licensed, 64-bit Journaled File System (JFS) developed by IBM.[3]
- btrfs - A copy-on-write B-tree file system (Btrfs) with advanced features (like ZFS, but GPL licensed and part of the official Linux kernel tree; unlike ZFS it has issues in RAID configurations[4]).
- NILFS - A log-structured file system implementation for the Linux kernel.
- NTFS - Microsoft Windows' New Technology File System (NTFS) (Windows' default filesystem).
- Aufs - Advanced multi-layered unification file system (Aufs), formerly known as Another union file system.
- OCFS2 - Oracle Cluster File System version 2.
- OverlayFS - The only union-like filesystem built-in to the Linux kernel.
- ReiserFS - Version 3 of the ReiserFS filesystem. Scheduled for removal from the kernel in 2025.
- Reiser4 - Version 4 of ReiserFS filesystem. Currently not implemented in the mainline Linux kernel.
- SquashFS - A compressed, read-only file system for Linux[5]
- UDF - Universal Disk Format - needed for mounting some kind of .iso files
- GFS2 - Global File System 2: A shared disk filesystem. Typically used in compute clusters.
- UFS - The Unix File System (UFS) also called the Berkeley Fast File System.
- XFS - A GPL licensed, 64-bit journaling filesystem created by Silicon Graphics.[6]
- ZFS - A CDDL (non-GPL compatible) licensed, copy-on-write filesystem created by Sun Microsystems[7] (like Btrfs, but more reliable[4]).
- F2FS - A Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS) created by Samsung for the Linux kernel.
