JFS and XFS File Systems

JFS and XFS File Systems

Two commercial Unix file systems have been ported (rewritten) to allow them to be used in Linux. IBM has provided its Journaled File System (JFS) that is used with its commercial Unix named AIX. Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) has provided its XFS file system used by its commercial Unix named IRIX. Because these file systems are generally suited for enterprise systems rather than home or small office systems, it seems likely that they are offered in Fedora to ease the transition of IRIX and AIX users to Linux by eliminating the need for these users to reformat their very large file systems.

Beginning with kernel 2.6, XFS is fully supported in the kernel.
