Linux Disable Mounting of Uncommon Filesystem

by

To disable the mounting of uncommon filesystems on a Linux system, you can modify the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file.

Here are the steps to disable the mounting of uncommon filesystems:

  1. Open the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file with a text editor, such as vi or nano.
  2. Add the following line to the file to disable the loading of uncommon filesystem modules:
install cramfs /bin/false
install freevxfs /bin/false
install jffs2 /bin/false
install hfs /bin/false
install hfsplus /bin/false
install squashfs /bin/false
install udf /bin/false

This will disable the loading of the following filesystem modules: cramfs, freevxfs, jffs2, hfs, hfsplus, squashfs, and udf.

  1. Save and close the file.
  2. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

After rebooting, the system will not load the specified filesystem modules, which will prevent the mounting of uncommon filesystems.
