<center>File system: <b>adfs</b></center>
<hr>
The file system Adfs was based on the rare Acord Winchester Filing System. It was renamed to the <b>Advanced Disc Filing System</b> when support for floppy discs was added. Acorn's original Disc Filing System was rather limited in that few files could be stored on a disk, and directory and file names were restricted to 1 and 7 characters respectively. To overcome some of these restrictions Acorn developed ADFS. The most dramatic change was the introduction of a hierarchical directory structure. The filename length increased from 7 to 10 letters and the number of files in a directory expanded to 47. This file system is used for floppy disks.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>auto</b></center>
<hr>
The file system is defined automatically. Setting of this file system is available when the type of partition are floppy, cdrom or flash. Because this devices are removable. For other cases the file system must be static.


<hr>
<center>Type: <i>Physical disk</i></center>
<hr>
Physical disk can be separated on logical partitions. For example: /dev/dha can consists of /dev/dha1 and /dev/hda2.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>ext2</b></center>
<hr>
Ext2 or Second extended file system - file system for the kernel of Linux. It was invented by Remy Card to replace extended file system. Ext2 isn't journaling file system and it's the biggest problem. The file system which fix this problem is <a href='ext3.html'>ext3</a>.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>ext3</b></center>
<hr>
File system Ext3 invented by Dr. Stephen Tweedie based on file system ext2; in fact, ext3 very simaler with ext2, but the biggest difference is support of journaling. After this little adding ext3 has intersting and surprising possibilities.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>ISO 9660</b></center>
<hr>
ISO 9660 - invented by International Standart Organization standart, describing file system for CD-ROM disks. The target is providing of compatibility in other operation systems, as Unix,Mac OS,Windows. DVD can use ISO 9660 too, but file system <a href='udf.html'>UDF</a> more suitable, because has support of big carrier.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>ntfs</b></center>
<hr>
NTFS (New Technology File System) - native file system of operation systems Microsoft Windows NT.<br>
NTFS replace file system FAT, which was used in MS-DOS. NTFS support system of metadata and use special structures of data for storing of information about files for improvement of productivity, reliability and effectiveness of using of disk space. NTFS can set permissions for data for different users and groups of users, and set maximum size of disk space for users. NTFS use system of journaling to raise reliability of file system. <br>
<hr>
<center>Program: <b>ntfs-3g</b></center>
<hr>
This program provide full support of NTFS in GNU Linux, then Linux kernel. You can choose what to use, but we recommend mount NTFS partitions with the ntfs-3g.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>ReiserFs</b></center>
<hr>
ReiserFS - journaling file system invented for Linux by Namesys company. Now ReiserFs supported only by Gnu/Linux, but it's possible to use it on other operatin systems in future. ReiserFs appeared in version 2.4.1 of Linux kernel and became journaling file system included to kernel.<br>
ReiserFs - native file system of: Slackware, Suse, Xandros, Yoper, Linspire and Kurumin Linux.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>Swap</b></center>
<hr>
Somebody knows this the partition with this file system as "virtual memory". It's used for storing data, which cannot be fit in RAM(Random Access Memory). In MS Windows uses swap file . Productivity of system don't depends on swap partition. If you have enough RAM data won't be put to swap partition. The speed of reading from RAM in two time bigger then from hard disk.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>tmpfs</b></center>
<hr>
TmpFs ("temporary file system") - file system which can support work with virtual memory. TmpFs use operating memory or <a href='swap.html'>swap</a>. This file system isn't block, that's why it can work at once after mounting. It's basic difference from other RAM-based file systems.<br>
Advantage of TmpFs:
	<ul>
		<li>The size of file system can change dynamically</li>
		<li>Speed</li>
		<li>Without inertia</li>
	</ul>


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>UDF</b></center>
<hr>
UDF (Universal Disk Format) - file system invented by Optical Storage Technology Association. UDF - new file system for CD with support of DVD and CD-RW. Standart CD-ROM usually use <a href='iso9660.html'>ISO 9660</a>. A lot of operating system can read ISO 9660 CD-R disks, but ISO 9660 has some limitations, which make it incompatible with DVD, CD-RW and other new formats of disks. UDF allow to write files on CD-R and CD-RW disks without losses of disk space using method of batch writing. UDF - the best file system for DVD, as have the best support of disk with large size.


<hr>
<center>File systems: <b>UDF and Iso9660</b></center>
<hr>
Сombination from UDF and Iso9660 means, that you have DVD-Rom, because file system <a href='iso9660.html'>iso9660</a> is default for usual disks, and <a href='udf.html'>Udf</a> - for DVD disks. But DVD-Roms can read and usual disks, that's why both file systems are supported by your device.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>Fat</b></center>
<hr>
FAT (File Allocation Table) — file system, which was used in MS-DOS. Logical disk with this file system has such partitions:
<ul>
	<li>Download sector</li>
	<li>The table of distribution of the files - FAT(2 copies)</li>
	<li>Root directory</li>
	<li>Files</li>
</ul>
For storing of files all available disk space for them devices on clusters. The FAT consists of cells, which point to some cluster on hard disk. If cluster belongs to file, then his cell contains the number of the next cell which belongs to this file too. If a cell point to the end of a file the cell will contain a value "FFFF". Unused clusters mark as NULL. "Bad" clusters mark by special code.


<hr>
<center>File system: <b>XFS</b></center>
<hr>
<b>XFS</b> - highly productive journaling file system invented by company Silicon Graphics for their operation system IRIX. 1 may 2001 Silicon Graphics issued XFS under GNU General Public License.
<br>
Support if <b>XFS</b> was included to Linux kernel from version 2.4 (Marcello Tosatti desided, that XFS is stable). Installers of Suse, Gentoo, Mandriva, Slackware, Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian offer XFS as variant of file system for root directory. FreeBSD has been supporting XFS in read only mode since december 2005.


<hr>
<center>Program <b>Dump</b></center>
<hr>
This program rather old and practically isn't used. It's operate files and directories. Dump can create reserve copies of file system on the disk or other storage device. It's used over network: file system is compressed to bzip2 and sent by SSH. The utilit Dump appeared in version 6 AT&app;T UNIX.


<hr>
<center>Program: <b>Fsck</b></center>
<hr>
FSCK (File System ChecK) - the utilit for checking of file systems in Unix. In general, fsck start automatically when the operating system start. Also <b>FSCK</b> can be start by system administrator if there are some problems with file system. However checking of the mounted file system can cause rather big damage. Microsoft equivalents: <i>scandisk</i> and <i>chdsk</i>.Value "2" - the best value for system partitions; "1" - for other important partitions; "0" - for removable partitions such as CDrom and floppy. The value define a order of checking.


<hr>
<center>Mount point</center>
<hr>
Mount point is a directory in which all files of the device will be stored. For example, if you set mount point "/media/windows", then in directory /media/windows you can see all your files.


You can install plugins for <b>MountManager</b> to increase functional of the program. Most usable plugins are: Documentation panel, Configuration file preview, Tips of the day and images mounting.


You can restore you old configuration with help of Restoration system. After apply of changes the program creates back-up file with previous content of configuration file.
