proc_filesystems(5) File Formats Manual proc_filesystems(5)
NAME
/proc/filesystems - supported filesystems
DESCRIPTION
/proc/filesystems
A text listing of the filesystems which are supported by the
kernel, namely filesystems which were compiled into the kernel
or whose kernel modules are currently loaded. (See also
filesystems(5).) If a filesystem is marked with "nodev", this
means that it does not require a block device to be mounted
(e.g., virtual filesystem, network filesystem).
Incidentally, this file may be used by mount(8) when no filesys-
tem is specified and it didn't manage to determine the filesys-
tem type. Then filesystems contained in this file are tried
(excepted those that are marked with "nodev").
