proc_filesystems(5)                      File Formats Manual                     proc_filesystems(5)

NAME
       /proc/filesystems - supported filesystems

DESCRIPTION
       /proc/filesystems
              A  text  listing of the filesystems which are supported by the kernel, namely filesys‐
              tems which were compiled into the kernel or whose kernel modules are currently loaded.
              (See also filesystems(5).)  If a filesystem is marked with "nodev", this means that it
              does not require a block device to  be  mounted  (e.g.,  virtual  filesystem,  network
              filesystem).

              Incidentally, this file may be used by mount(8) when no filesystem is specified and it
              didn't  manage  to  determine the filesystem type.  Then filesystems contained in this
              file are tried (excepted those that are marked with "nodev").
