Welcome to the tutorial guide. The tutorial will provide a user with advise and guidance about file system drivers.
minix: Minix filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe minix
There are no module parameters.
ext: “Extended” filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe ext
There are no module parameters.
ext2: “Second extended” filessystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe ext2
There are no module parameters.
xiafs: xiafs filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe xiafs
There are no module parameters.
fat: DOS FAT filesystem functions
This module provides services for use by the MSDOS and VFAT filesystem drivers.
An example is provided below:
modprobe fat
There are no module parameters.
msdos: MSDOS filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe msdos
There are no module parameters.
This module depends on the module fat.
vfat: VFAT (Windows-95) filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe vfat
There are no module parameters.

umsdos: UMSDOS filesystem driver
This is a driver for the UMSDOS filesystem type, which is a unix style filesystem built on top of an MSDOS FAT filesystem.
An example is provided below:
modprobe vfat
There are no module parameters.
This module depends on the fat and msdos modules.
nfs: NFS filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe nfs
There are no module parameters.
smbfs: SMB filesystem driver
SMBFS is a filesystem type which has an SMB protocol interface. This is the protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or Lan Manager use to talk to each other.
An example is provided below:
modprobe smbfs
There are no module parameters
ncpfs: NCP (Netware) filesystem driver
NCPFS is a filesystem type which has an NCP protocol interface, designed by the Novell Corporation for their NetWare product. NCP is functionally similar to the NFS used in the TCP/IP community. If you would like to mount a Netware filesystem, then you need a special mount program, which can be found in the ncpfs package.
An example is provided below:
modprobe ncpfs
There are no module parameters.
This module depends on module ipx.
isofs: ISO 9660 (CDROM) filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe isofs
There are no module parameters.
hpfs: OS/2 HPFS filesystem driver
This filesystem driver for OS/2’s HPFS filesystem provides only read-only access.
An example is provided below:
modprobe hpfs
There are no module parameters.
sysv: System V and Coherent filesystem driver
Please note that this is the implementation of the SystemV/Coherent filesystem type for Linux.
It implements all of
• Xenix FS
• SystemV/386 FS
• Coherent FS

An example is provided below:
modprobe sysv
There are no module parameters.
affs: Amiga FFS filesystem driver
An example is provided below:
modprobe affs
There are no module parameters.
ufs: UFS filesystem driver
This filesystem driver provides only read-only access.
An example is provided below:
modprobe ufs
There are no module parameters.
If you followed advise and guidance as provided in this tutorial guide then you would have learnt about the file system drivers.
