It's important that the OS is able to read and write all common file systems.

NTFS

Because it is based on Linux most file systems are natively supported, with the exception of NTFS.

There is a utilty called Captive that can provide a read/write NTFS file system layer that will integrate with the OS in the normal way.

Fuse

User-space implementation of a filesystem API.

  • Requires kernel module
  • Good examples of custom implementation
