What is Android's file system?
It depends on what filesystem, for example /system
and /data
are yaffs2
while /sdcard
is vfat.
This is the output of mount:
rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,size=4096k 0 0
none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,cpu 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock0 /system yaffs2 ro 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock1 /data yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock2 /cache yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block//vold/179:0 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
and with respect to other filesystems supported, this is the list
nodev sysfs
nodev rootfs
nodev bdev
nodev proc
nodev cgroup
nodev binfmt_misc
nodev sockfs
nodev pipefs
nodev anon_inodefs
nodev tmpfs
nodev inotifyfs
nodev devpts
nodev ramfs
vfat
msdos
nodev nfsd
nodev smbfs
yaffs
yaffs2
nodev rpc_pipefs
By default, it uses YAFFS - Yet Another Flash File System.
