Configuration and Management
The file system on a shared partition needs to be of a supported type;
otherwise the automatic mounting of the device will not work. Currently the
supported types are:
• FAT; Microsoft legacy file system from MS-DOS with 8.3 character
filename
• FAT32; Microsoft Windows 95 file system based on FAT but with long
file name
• ext2; Second extended file system, the standard Linux file system.
• ext3; Like ext2, but with journaling support.
