In Linux, as with any operating system, your filesystem dictates how data is stored and retrieved. Each filesystem type has its own set of rules and limitations regarding the maximum sizes of files and partitions (volumes). This blog post delves into the common filesystems used in Linux environments like EXT4, XFS, and Btrfs, discussing their capabilities and limitations in terms of file and partition sizes. This knowledge is crucial for system administrators, developers, and users who manage large databases or files and ensures optimal system performance and scalability. EXT4 (Fourth Extended Filesystem) is arguably the most common filesystem on Linux due to its robustness and extensive support.
