Common Linux File Systems

ext4 (Fourth Extended): Default for Most Distros

Feature	Details
Max file size	16 TB
Max volume size	1 EB
Journaling	Yes (metadata + optional data)
Backward compatible	ext2, ext3
Defragmentation	Online (`e4defrag`)
Best for	General purpose, SSDs, HDDs

# Create ext4
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1

# Check/repair
fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdX1

# Tune
tune2fs -l /dev/sdX1

XFS: High Performance, Large Files

Feature	Details
Max file size	8 EB
Max volume size	8 EB
Journaling	Yes (metadata only)
Parallel I/O	Excellent
Online grow	Yes (`xfs_growfs`)
Online shrink	❌ Not supported
Best for	Large storage, media, databases, RHEL default

# Create XFS
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdX1

# Grow (online, mounted)
xfs_growfs /mount/point

# Check
xfs_repair /dev/sdX1

Btrfs: Modern, Feature-Rich

Feature	Details
Max file size	16 EB
Max volume size	16 EB
Copy-on-Write	Yes
Snapshots	Native, instant
Compression	zstd, lzo, zlib
RAID	Native (0,1,10,5,6)
Self-healing	Checksums + redundant copies
Best for	Advanced users, snapshots, Fedora default

# Create Btrfs
mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdX1

# Snapshot (instant)
btrfs subvolume snapshot /source /snapshots/backup-$(date +%F)

# Compress
mount -o compress=zstd /dev/sdX1 /mnt

Other File Systems

FS	Use Case
FAT32	USB drives, cross-platform (max 4GB file)
exFAT	Large USB/SD cards, cross-platform
NTFS	Windows dual-boot (read/write via `ntfs-3g`)
ZFS	Enterprise, data integrity (separate kernel module)
JFS	Legacy, low CPU overhead
ReiserFS	Legacy, small files

Disk & Partition Management

View Disks

lsblk # Tree view
lsblk -f # With filesystem info
fdisk -l # Partition tables
parted -l # GPT/MBR details

Partitioning (fdisk/parted)

# MBR (legacy BIOS)
fdisk /dev/sdX

# GPT (UEFI)
parted /dev/sdX mklabel gpt
parted /dev/sdX mkpart primary ext4 1MiB 100%

Common Partition Schemes

Scheme	Boot Mode	Partitions
MBR	Legacy BIOS	Up to 4 primary (or 3 primary + extended)
GPT	UEFI	128+ partitions, >2TB disks

Typical Linux Layout (GPT/UEFI):
