[edit] RedHat GFS

I like to mention that RedHats's Global File System ( GFS ), formerly maintained by Sistina, is missing from this list. I believe it is a parallel fault tolerant filesystem.

Its a symmetric (using a distributed lock manager) shared storage file system for use on a SAN. All nodes have direct access to the block storage where the file system is located. --JerkerNyberg 07:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] more missing file systems

I note that the following appear to be missing (from memory, this list): CP/M-80, Flex, mini-FLEX, FLEX9, Uniflex, OS-9, Hemenway OS-68 file system, Smoke Signal Systems (SSB-DOS), and of course many others even more obscure from the wild and wooly days of the first 8-bit CPUs. If WP is to have completeish coverage of this subject, these should not be neglected. 67.86.175.54 04:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I also agree with this post. What is the point of not having these lesser-known file system formats? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hsleep (talk • contribs) 22:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes.

[edit] HP Clustered File System?

I removed the following entry since I couldn't find any more information about it. Is it a duplicate of PolyServe file system which also is called PSFS? --JerkerNyberg 10:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  • HP Clustered File System (PSFS) from HP focus on exporting to clients over CIFS or NFS. Available for Linux and Windows. Symmetric.

[edit] difference of file system

I want know what is the difference between shared-disk FS and distributed FS. -- Hsleep 05:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Nodes running a shared file systems access blocks over shared storage. Like a hard disk over SCSI (or iSCSI/Ethernet, Fibrechannel, Firewire, etc). a distributed file system access each other using that particular distributed file system protocol. JerkerNyberg 13:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FAT32 for pendrives

The 4Gb limit is one of file size, not disc capacity, surely? Given that it's supposed to be a big step up from FAT16 that was limited to 2Gb for both...

(in fact I think it's 2Gb max file for FAT32, as it uses signed values) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.63.174.10 (talk) 09:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
