File Systems Supported on CentOS

[damansk]

Hi All,

Are following File Systems supported on CentOS?

XFS, IBM JFS, NTFS

Any details provided would be appreciated.

Has nothing to do with centos, the linux kernel supports the above file systems, although not sure how mature the NTFS write support is but you will be able to read from NTFS partitions without any issues.

Question may be related to the default installation of CentOS. Then it is probably none (from the file systems).

Try to probe the module (or mount the fs and it should automatically attempt the modprobe for the correct driver). If the module probe fails, you will most likely need to either find an RPM build of the kernel with the needed modules, or my favorite option, recompile yourself and add every feature YOU want. Be warned, however, kernel compilation is not for everyone, but there are plenty of good docs online. As of late, the ntfs module is very stable, and even allows write support with no need to pray/cross fingers during writing anymore! I'm not too familiar with the JFS, but the support has been in the kernel since at least the 2.4 days so it must be stable. XFS support is 100% in the kernel. It has been usable for quite some time now and I have used it personally at home.
