=== {{Not a typo|msdos}} === The ''{{Not a typo|msdos}}'' filesystem driver provides no extra Unix file semantics and no long filename support. If a FAT disk filesystem is mounted using this driver, only 8.3 filenames will be visible, no long filenames will be accessible, nor will any long filename data structures of any kind on the disk volume be maintained. The ''{{Not a typo|vfat}}'' filesystem driver provides long filename support using the same disk data structures that [[Microsoft Windows]] uses for [[VFAT]] long filename support on FAT format volumes, but it does not support any extra Unix file semantics. The ''{{Not a typo|umsdos}}'' filesystem driver provides long filename support, and extra Unix file semantics. However, it does so using on-disk data structures that are not recognized by any filesystem drivers for any operating systems other than Linux.<ref name="StanfieldSmith"/><ref name="Ward"/><ref name="Smith1"/><ref name="Negus">{{cite book |title=Linux bible: boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, SUSE, and 11 other distributions |series=Bible Series |author-first=Christopher |author-last=Negus |publisher=[[John Wiley and Sons]] |year=2007 |isbn=978-0-470-08279-9 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/linuxbiblebootup0000negu/page/159 159] |url=https://archive.org/details/linuxbiblebootup0000negu/page/159 }}</ref>
