XFS, a journaling file system. It has a dummy fsck which does nothing [4] and an actual xfs_repair tool to be run when problems are suspected. UFS2 file system in FreeBSD, which can delay the check to background if soft updates are enabled. [5] As a result, it is usually not necessary to wait for fsck to finish before accessing the disk.
GRUB 2, elilo and systemd-boot serve as conventional, full-fledged standalone UEFI boot managers (a.k.a. bootloader managers) for Linux. Once loaded by a UEFI firmware, they can access and boot kernel images from all devices, partitions and file systems they support, without being limited to the EFI system partition.

Allocate-on-flush (also called delayed allocation) is a file system feature implemented in HFS+, [1] XFS, Reiser4, ZFS, Btrfs, and ext4. [2] The feature also closely resembles an older technique that Berkeley's UFS called "block reallocation".
Linux kernel 5.10, released in December 2020, included the new on-disk format XFS v5. This was a hard break, since the deprecated XFS v4 can not be converted to XFS v5. Data on partitions formatted with XFS v4 has to be backed up to another partition or media in order to restore it after formatting the old partition with XFS v5, which ...
The mount command instructs the operating system that a file system is ready to use, and associates it with a particular point in the overall file system hierarchy (its mount point) and sets options relating to its access. Mounting makes file systems, files, directories, devices and special files available for use and available to the user.
GParted is used for creating, deleting, [3] resizing, [4] moving, checking, and copying disk partitions and their file systems. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks, and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging). It can also be used to format a USB drive.
Shared-disk file systems (also called shared-storage file systems, SAN file system, Clustered file system or even cluster file systems) are primarily used in a storage area network where all nodes directly access the block storage where the file system is located. This makes it possible for nodes to fail without affecting access to the file ...
