## 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/filesystems/5/markdown).)  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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/mount/8/markdown) 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").
