2.1.2 Supported File Systems

The ChorusOS 4.0 product supports the following file systems, although not necessarily for all target platforms:

Network File System (NFS)

NFS is the standard among UNIX operating systems for sharing file systems over the network. ChorusOS systems can support both NFS client access to shared file systems and NFS server capabilities to share local file systems with other systems on the network.

File Allocation Table (FAT) File System

Also known as the MS-DOS file system, this supports file allocation tables with 12, 16 or 32-bit entries, making it possible to support long file names.

UNIX File System (UFS)

Also known as the Fast File System, this supports long file names and links, and is the required type for file systems exported through NFS.

Swap File System

The ChorusOS 4.0 product also supports the use of a swap partition on supported local hardware devices.

The following table summarizes which file systems are supported for which media.
