Note Master Boot Record (MBR)Used for a long time to organize data, also called DOS-Partitions. Partition information is stored in the first 512 bytes of the device.
Available softwareThe following programs can be used to create, alter, and remove MBR partitions:
Supported operating systems
GUID Partition Table (GPT)In GUID (Global Unique IDentifier) partition system, a small amount of disk space at the beginning of the device is used to store the partition information. Its main advantage is the supported size of storage devices and the creation of a backup of the partition table at the end of the device.
Available softwareThe following programs can be used to create, alter, and remove GPT partitions:
Supported operating systems
Logical Volume Manager (LVM)LVM is a complete suite to dynamically manage partitions, storage devices or other underlying systems as volumes.
Note Available softwareThe following programs come with sys-fs/lvm2
The following programs can be used to create, alter, and remove LVM partitions:
Supported operating systems
Note ZFSZFS is a complete suite to dynamically manage storage and filesystem.
Available softwareThe following programs come with sys-fs/zfs:
Supported operating systems
Other softwareBusybox also contains a version of fdisk. There are some special versions of fdisk for specific system types in the Gentoo ebuild repository, such as: sys-fs/arm-fdisk, sys-fs/mac-fdisk, or sys-fs/atari-fdisk. See sys-fs category for even more tools. See also

Which of the following is the best file system to use in Windows?However, for all operating systems capable of running it, both UITS and Microsoft strongly recommend using NTFS instead. Although FAT performs better on smaller volumes (under 500 MB), NTFS out-performs it on larger volumes.
How is a file system created?To create a filesystem, there are three steps: Create partitions using fdisk or Disk Utility. We learned on Linux that a primary partition is used to boot the Linux system and a swap partition is used to create space to hold extended memory. Format the partitions using mkfs or Disk Utility.
