A file system manages the space on a storage medium (hard disk, SSD ...). It makes this memory available to the operating system so that files can be saved and read again. Each of the following file systems has advantages and disadvantages. They are mostly developed for a special purpose and are therefore used in a certain environment.

Linux

File systems that are mostly used under linux

Ext2 → Ext3 → Ext4

Ext4 is the default file system in Manjaro at the moment. It is the evolution of the most used Linux filesystems (Ext3, Ext2) and promises improved design, better performance, reliability, and features over its predecessors.

see Ext4@ARCH-wiki, Ext4@wikipedia

Install

In manjaro e2fsprogs is already installed

Tips

For advanced optimizations see the Archwiki Ext4 article.

reiserfs → reiser4

This was used some time ago in a few linux distros. You may need it if you move to manjaro and have to read data from such harddisks.

see Reiser4@ARCH-wiki, ReiserFS@wikipedia, Reiser4@wikipedia

Install

pamac install reiserfsprogs reiser4progs


btrfs

A modern file system with a lot of advanced features.

see btrfs@kernel.org, Btrfs@ARC-wiki, Btrfs@wikipedia

Install

pamac install btrfs-progs

Windows

File systems mostly used in windows

NTFS

This today is used by most windows installs

see NTFS@ARCH-wiki, NTFS@wikipedia

Install

pamac install ntfs-3g

DOS

File systems under DOS and early windows on a lot of floppydisks and USB-sticks

FAT → FAT32 → VFAT

You may find this filesystem on disks created under DOS or Windows9x. It is sometimes used to transport files from one operating system to another.

see FAT@ARCH-wiki, FAT@wikipedia

Install

pamac install dosfstools

exFAT

Microsoft created the exFAT (Extended File Alocation Table) to make up for the inadequacies of FAT32, as it can hold large files, large numbers of files & use very large partitions. Supported on Linux, Windows, MacOS and many other devices, it is one of the most compatible filesystems. A good choice when you need to share a removable device between many systems.

see ExFAT@wikipedia

Warning
exFAT FS does not use journaling. Data on such a filesystem is vulnerable to irreparable corruption due to improper ejection or power outage.

Install

pamac install exfatprogs

macOS

Filesystems mostly used in macOs

HFS → HFS+

see HFSPlus@wikipedia

Install

pamac install hfsprogs (AUR)

Others

XFS

see XFS@ARCH-wiki

ZFS

see ZFS@ARCH-wiki
