Such as spanning or mounting and there are new types of Hard Drives that use larger sectors.
Note: There are further things that can be done with windows partitions. Each receives a Drive letter, but you are only able to install the OS on a Primary partition. On older SATA IDE Hard Drives, you are limited to either four Primary partitions or a combination of some Primary and Logical partitions. Windows partitions come in two types: Primary and Logical. You are better to take them as two separate processes. Trying to match the two only confuses you. The First thing is to discard everything that you already know about windows partitions. The directories and files are searchable and used within this structure.
While every other partition - Be it Primary or Logical, mounts to that partition. Each partition has a file format that you set and a purpose within the OS.

There are several types of files in Ubuntu Linux: Regular files This was a file format that was in use across several distros but is largely replaced by Ext3 now. Journaled File System - introduced by IBM, it is still supported but it is being replaced by Ext4.Ħ4-bit option that is mostly supported now as an option in Red Hat. Journaling added.įourth Extended filesystem - used by many Linux distros. Third Extended filesystem - default choice for Ubuntu distros. Second Extended filesystem - used by many Linux distributions' (distros). It is still required to read Windows partitions. New Tech File System - replaced FAT on Windows computers. Legacy File System that was universally adopted. Note: Be that Ext2, Ext3, NTFS, or some other format.
