ext2 has extremely fast speed and minimal CPU usage, and can be used for hard disks and mobile storage devices

ext3 adds log function and can be traced back

ext4 Log style The file system supports 1EB (1024*1024TB), with a maximum single file of 16TB. It supports continuous writing to reduce file fragmentation. The default file system of rhel6

xfs can manage a 500T hard drive. rhel7 default file system

brtfs file system is optimized for solid state disks,

zfs update?

Maximum supported files and other information?

windows

FAT16: The disk partition format used by MS-DOS and win95, using a 16-bit file allocation table, only supports 2GB Disk partition, the maximum single file is 2GB, and the disk utilization is low

FAT32: (i.e. Vfat) uses a 32-bit file allocation table, supports a maximum partition of 128GB, a maximum file of 4GB

NTFS: supported The maximum partition is 2TB and the maximum file is 2TB. The security and stability are very good and file fragmentation is not prone to occur.
