The filesystems are designed specifically for file and folder management efficiency, protecting files from accidental deletion or corruption. They come equipped with features such as file permissions, ownership, and access control, which provide users with utmost security and privacy.

Notable examples of local Linux filesystems include Btrfs, XFS, ext4, fat32, and even ZFS.

Note - While ZFS is a local filesystem, it is not included in the kernel and needs software from https://zfsonlinux.org.

A remote filesystem allows you to access files and directories on a remote server through a network.

Examples of remote filesystems include

• Network File System (NFS),
• Server Message Block (SMB),
• Common Internet File System (CIFS)

Other popular remote filesystems include s3fs, which allows users to access files securely over cloud-based object storage.
