 __TOC__
+This page provides information on some of the file systems commonly used in Manjaro. It also shows where and how they are used. Further information on these and other file systems can be found in the ARCH Wiki
+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.
-=Ext4=
+== 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 [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ext4 Ext4@ARCH-wiki], [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 Ext4@wikipedia]
-It is the default filesystem in Manjaro.
+====Install====
+In manjaro e2fsprogs is already installed
+=====Tips=====
+For advanced optimizations see the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ext4#Improving_performance 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 [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reiser4 Reiser4@ARCH-wiki], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS ReiserFS@wikipedia], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiser4 Reiser4@wikipedia]
+====Install====
+pamac install reiserfsprogs reiser4progs
-====Tips====
-For advanced optimizations see the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ext4#Improving_performance Archwiki Ext4 article].
+===btrfs===
+A modern file system with a lot of advanced features.
+see [https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page btrfs@kernel.org], [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs Btrfs@ARC-wiki], [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs Btrfs@wikipedia]
+====Install====
+pamac install btrfs-progs
-=exFAT=
+== Windows ==
+File systems mostly used in windows
+=== NTFS ===
+This today is used by most windows installs
-Microsoft created the exFAT (Extended File Alocation Table) to make up for the inadequacies of FAT32 & NTFS, 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.
+see [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS NTFS@ARCH-wiki], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS NTFS@wikipedia]
-A good choice when you need to share a removable device between many systems.
+====Install====
+pamac install ntfs-3g
-{{warning | exFAT FS does not use journaling. Data on such a filesystem is vulnerable to irreparable corruption due to ''improper ejection or power outage''.}}
+== 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 [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/FAT FAT@ARCH-wiki], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table FAT@wikipedia]
+====Install====
+pamac install dosfstools

+A good choice when you need to share a removable device between many systems.
-To use exFAT, you need to install the '''exfat-utils''' package.  You can do this using your favorite package manager or with this command:

+====Install====
+pamac install exfatprogs
+== macOS ==
+Filesystems mostly used in macOs
+=== HFS → HFS+ ===
+see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus HFSPlus@wikipedia]

+pamac install hfsprogs (AUR)
