  • FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD disklabel sub-partitioning scheme used on Intel platforms.
  • IBM OS/2 High Performance filesystem.
  • Linux ext2 (second extended filesystem).
  • Linux LVM physical volumes (LVM by Heinz Mauelshagen).
  • Linux swap partitions (versions 0 and 1).
  • The Minix operating system filesystem type.
  • MS-DOS FAT12/16/32 "filesystems".
  • MS Windows NT/2000 filesystem.
  • The Reiser filesystem (version 3.5.X, X > 11).
  • Silicon Graphics' journaling file system for Linux.
  • Sun Solaris on Intel platforms uses a sub-partitioning scheme on PC hard disks similar to the BSD disklabels.
  • Other types may be added relatively easily, as separately compiled modules.
  • QNX 4.x filesystem.

Famous quotes containing the word types:

    “... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
