#268509 — filesystem info

when i type mount i see many different filesystem names

sysfs, proc, udev, devpts, tmpfs, securityfs, cgroup2, pstore, none,
systemd-1, hugetlbfs, mqueue, debugfs, tracefs, sunrpc, fusectl, configfs
binfmt_misc, portal

is there "simple" documentation to explain what these are

Not sure if that's what you're looking for, but have you looked at the
filesystems(5) man page?

Use
apropos sysfs to find manpages relevant.
Be ware that only the manpages will be searched that are installed on
your system, so maybe have a look at https://manpages.debian.org/ or
search that site with your preferred search engine.

In days of yore (Sun, 24 Mar 2024), fxkl47BF@protonmail.com thus quoth:

The Linux Kernel sources have a Documentation tree that documents many
aspects and features of the kernel. There may be a kernel-doc package you
can install that should put that documentation right onto your system in
/usr/share/doc/kernel/.

Do note: reading the docs about /proc and /sys (procfs and sysfs
respectively) may give ideas - write those ideas down if you decide to try
them out so you have a record of what you might have done on the system.
It can be relatively easy to unintentionally cause bad performance by
poking around with those settings.

Happy learning!

That's a good one, thanks :-)

That suggestion inspired an apt-cache search:

apt-cache search kernel filesystem doc

Which brought up two docs appropriate for my own Trixie setup: linux-doc-6.5
and linux-doc-6.6. The description for 6.6 is:

Description-en: Linux kernel specific documentation for version 6.6
 This package provides the various README files and HTML documentation for
 the Linux kernel version 6.6.  Plenty of information, including the
 descriptions of various kernel subsystems, filesystems, driver-specific
 notes and the like.  An index to the documentation is installed as
 /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-6.6/html/index.html.

Sounds pretty good, in fact just downloaded for myself. For those who
haven't found them yet, you can also install various Debian centric handbooks
using similar searches, e.g. for "admin". Empowered users, yada-yada!

Cindy :)
