Filesystems
ISO9660
This is a CD-ROM standard. Most CD-ROMs use some variety of the ISO9660 extension.
FAT
FAT filesystems (msdos, vfat, umsdos) pertain to Microsoft systems.
msdos supports older MS-DOS and Windows (3.11 and older) systems.
vfat supports Windows systems (95, 98, ME)
umsdos is an uncommon type that supports Unix features of an MS-DOS filesystem.
NTFS
Windows NT, 2000, XP systems.
This is not always included in a default kernel, so you might need to add this module.
Reiser
Relatively new.
Supports a journal and is optimized for fairly small files which is common in Unix systems.
