Hfs+, Ext3Fs, and Ntfs
HFS+, Ext3fs, and NTFS
HFS+ is file system developed by apple to replace their Hierarchical file system as the primary file system used in Mac computers It is also used by IPod and it is referred to as Mac OS extended. Was better than IBM PC platform. Ext3fs or third extended file system is a journaled file system that is commonly used by the Linux Kernel. It is the default file system for many Linux distributions. Stephen Tweedie first revealed that he was working on extending ext2 in Journaling the Linux ext2fs Filesystem in a 1998 paper and late in a Feb. 1999 kernel mailing list posting, and the file system was merged with the mainline Linux kernel in Nov, 2001 from 2.4.15 onward. Its main advantage over ext2 is journaling which improves reliability and eliminates the need to check the file system after an unclean shutdown. NTFS is a Windows op and file allocation system. It is standard on Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows server 2003, Windows server 2008 Windows Vista and Windows 7. NTFS replaced the FAT file system as the preferred file system for Microsoft Windows operating systems. NTFS has several improvements over FAT and HPFS (High Performance File System) such as improved support for metadata and the use of advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability, and disk space utilization, plus security access control lists (ACL) and file system journaling. FAT systems are still used in portable media like thumb drives, MP3 players, cell phones and cameras. You will probably run into NTFS and HFS+ systems more often. Cyber criminals might use Linux powered platforms if they are some sort of computer geek. The source code is open on Linux and can be modified by anyone. You can make software and do other things than it was meant to do more easily. Open source software and Linux does not have much support.
Pros and cons of each file system.
FAT is pretty simple. Ext has easy recovery. Non- Windows
