== Differences, advantages, and disadvantages ==
All of the Linux filesystem drivers support all three FAT types, namely [[FAT12]], [[FAT16]] and [[FAT32]]. Where they differ is in the provision of support for [[long filename]]s, beyond the [[8.3 filename]] structure of the original FAT filesystem format, and in the provision of Unix file semantics that do not exist as standard in the FAT filesystem format such as [[file permissions]].<ref name=StanfieldSmith /> The filesystem drivers are mutually exclusive. Only one can be used to mount any given disk volume at any given time. Thus the choice among them is determined by what long filenames and Unix semantics they support and what use one wants to make of the disk volume.<ref name=Smith1>{{cite book|title=Linux in a Windows world|author=Roderick W.
