Line 11: === vfat === ''vfat'', whilst lacking full Unix file semantics and lacking the ability to have Linux installed on and running from a FAT disk volume, does not have the aforementioned disadvantages of ''umsdos'' when it comes to simply sharing data on a FAT disk volume between Linux and other operating systems such as Windows. Its data structures are the same as those used by Windows for VFAT long filenames, and it does not require running a synchronization utility in order to prevent Windows and Linux data structures from becoming ~~disjoint~~disjointed. For this reason, it is the most appropriate of Linux's FAT filesystem drivers to use in the majority of situations.<ref name="StanfieldSmith"/><ref name="Smith1"/><ref name="McCune"/> {\| class="wikitable sortable"
