    Ubuntu's kernel config is included, just in a different place: /boot/config-$(uname -r) Commented Nov 3, 2013 at 16:21

    /proc/filesystems is not wrong, it is just incomplete. Commented Nov 3, 2013 at 21:15

    @poige By that logic your answer is terribly incomplete and wrong as well. /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs will only help with filesystems that have been enabled as modules, not ones that are built into the kernel. Additionally a module name might not match the filesystem name it provides, and a single module can provide multiple filesystems. Commented Nov 4, 2013 at 1:42

    This answer is misleading, if a module isn't loaded, the kernel simply cannot load that filesystem type until it is. To state that the kernel can load it is not correct -- you don't know if it can until you successfully load the module. There's not even a guarantee that you can load that module.

    @poige actually I'm not overlooking /proc/config.gz at all. 1) it's not guaranteed to exist, 2) A module name might not match the filesystem name it provides, and a single module can provide multiple filesystems. Commented Nov 4, 2013 at 12:00
