Get a list of filesystems I support?

How do I get a list of which filesystems my server supports?

Not totally clear on what you are asking.

`df -k` of course will list things you have mounted. But it's not clear that's what you are asking for.

Perhaps you are asking what file system types can be used with the operating system you are running?

On my Solaris system, `man fs` has a page and then says "See Also" referencing man pages for fstype and vfstab.

Yea, what fs types can be used. I'm on CentOS 5. You can install support fir other fs's, so I want to know what all has been installed.

Code:

# grep FS /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -v "#"

...will give you a rough idea. There will be a few false positives.

Code:

# cat /proc/filesystems

...will do roughly the same, except it will not show you filesystems which you have support for as unloaded modules.

Code:

# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/

...is probably the best.

thanks very much.

it looks like I'll have to compile davfs. since it's not in yum... *sigh*...

thanks
