File types

With new UNIX versions released, there were new filesystems added. And files might exist in those filesystems:

VFS - virtual filesystem
s5 - a very old and very clumsy filesystem :) from AT&T System V-3
RFS - remote filesystem
UFS - ultra-fast file system
BFS - boot filesystem
NFS - network filesystem
PROC - process filesystem
FIFOFS - flood-in flood-out filesystem
SPECS - special filesystem
FAT16 - old MS-DOS/Win3x/Win95 filesystem
FAT32 - Win98/NT+ filesystem
UMSDOS - cloned Linux
ext2 - native Linux
vfat - Win95 virtual FAT
iso9660 - cd


... etc, etc.
