GCFA Exam - Question 5


Which of the following type of file systems is not supported by Linux kernel?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

Linux kernel supports vFAT, NTFS, and FAT32 file systems. vFAT and FAT32 are variations of the FAT file system, and Linux has built-in support for them. NTFS is supported by the Linux kernel starting from version 5.15 with the inclusion of Paragon Software’s NTFS3 driver. HFS (Hierarchical File System), on the other hand, is an older file system used primarily by Mac OS and is not supported natively by the Linux kernel.

Where does this come from? Linux doesn't support APFS and probably ReFS, but FAT32 is universal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux

It definitely supports Fat32. I read an article that starting in 2022 it started supporting NTFS so maybe it’s just an old question?

Vfat and HFS are supported.

The Linux kernel has support for NTFS. Starting from Linux kernel 5.15, it includes Paragon Software’s NTFS3 kernel driver, which provides improved support for NTFS. But stating back to the old days. I think it's B
