MarkLogic Server relies on the operating system for filesystem operations. While any filesystem that works properly (including under heavy load) should work, this table lists the operating systems along with the filesystems under which they are supported. Other filesystems may work, but they have not been thoroughly tested with MarkLogic Server.
