=== <span id="UMSDOS"></span>UMSDOS permissions and filenames === {{further|FAT filesystem and Linux}} Early Linux distributions also supported a format known as [[UMSDOS]], a FAT variant with Unix file attributes (such as long file name and access permissions) stored in a separate file called "<code>--linux-.---</code>". UMSDOS fell into disuse after [[#VFAT|VFAT]] was released and it is not enabled by default in [[Linux]] from version 2.5.7 onwards.<ref name="Linux_ChangeLog257" /> For some time, Linux also provided combined support for UMSDOS-style permissions and VFAT long filenames through [[UVFAT]].
