The table below shows the default file system, but many Linux distributions support some or all of ext2, ext3, ext4, Btrfs, ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, XFS, GFS2, OCFS2, and NILFS. It is possible to install Linux onto most of these file systems. The ext file systems, namely ext2, ext3, and ext4 are based on the original Linux file system.
The Linux kernel has included Zstandard since November 2017 (version 4.14) as a compression method for the btrfs and squashfs filesystems. [17] [18] [19] In 2017, Allan Jude integrated Zstandard into the FreeBSD kernel, [20] and it was subsequently integrated as a compressor option for core dumps (both user programs and kernel panics).
It is also used in Chromecast, [2] in Tiny Core Linux for packaging extensions, and for the system partitions of some Android releases (Android Nougat). [3] It is often combined with a union mount filesystem, such as UnionFS , OverlayFS , or aufs , to provide a read-write environment for live Linux distributions.
