== Filesystem

For proper ACID behavior, the filesystem must support flush (_fsync_, _fdatasync_).
Since databases can put a high and consistent load on a storage system for a long time, it is recommended to use a file system that has good aging characteristics.
The EXT4 and XFS are the **only** supported file systems.
For proper ACID behavior, the filesystem must support flush operations such as _fsync_ and _fdatasync_.
Since databases can place a high and consistent load on a storage system for long periods, it is recommended to use a filesystem with strong aging characteristics.

On Linux systems, a POSIX-compliant filesystem is required.
Network shares such as NFS do not meet this POSIX requirement.
The only supported filesystems on Linux are EXT4 and XFS.

See xref:performance/linux-file-system-tuning.adoc[Linux file system tuning] for details on how to configure the filesystem in Linux for optimal performance.
