Zorin OS, a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu, supports several file systems commonly used in Linux environments. Some of the primary file systems supported by Zorin OS include:
ext4: This is the most widely used file system in Linux. It is known for its stability, performance, and support for large files and file systems. For example, when you create a new partition on a Zorin OS system, ext4 is often the default file system option.
NTFS: While primarily a Windows file system, Zorin OS can read from and write to NTFS partitions with the help of the ntfs-3g driver. This allows for seamless integration with Windows systems when sharing files.
FAT32: This is an older file system that is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is often used for USB flash drives and other removable storage devices due to its broad compatibility.
exFAT: Similar to FAT32 but designed for larger storage devices and files, exFAT is also supported by Zorin OS, enabling compatibility with Windows systems when dealing with large files.
Btrfs: A more recent file system that offers advanced features like snapshotting, compression, and data integrity checks. While not as widely used as ext4, Btrfs is gaining popularity for its robustness and flexibility.
For cloud storage solutions that can integrate with Zorin OS, consider services like Tencent Cloud's Cloud Block Storage (CBS), which provides high-performance block storage for cloud servers, supporting various file systems including ext4, NTFS, and more. This allows you to store and manage data flexibly in the cloud while maintaining compatibility with your Zorin OS environment.
