DESCRIPTION         top

       /proc/filesystems
              A text listing of the filesystems which are supported by
              the kernel, namely filesystems which were compiled into
              the kernel or whose kernel modules are currently loaded.
              (See also filesystems(5).)  If a filesystem is marked with
              "nodev", this means that it does not require a block
              device to be mounted (e.g., virtual filesystem, network
              filesystem).

              Incidentally, this file may be used by mount(8) when no
              filesystem is specified and it didn't manage to determine
              the filesystem type.  Then filesystems contained in this
              file are tried (excepted those that are marked with
              "nodev").
