Description

The Get-SupportedFileSystems cmdlet gets the file system choices for a specified volume. The file system choices determine your options when you format the volume.

Examples

Example 1: Get the supported file systems

PS C:\>Get-Volume H | Get-SupportedFileSystems
NTFS
REFS

This command gets the supported file systems for the volume named H.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DriveLetter

Specifies an array of letters that identify one or more drives or volumes in the system. The cmdlet gets the supported file systems for the drives or volumes you specify.

Type:Char[]
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-FileSystemLabel

Specifies an array of file system labels. The cmdlet gets the supported file systems for the file system labels you specify.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the input object that is used in a pipeline command.

Type:CimInstance[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ObjectId

Specifies an array of IDs, as strings. The ID is not globally unique.

Type:String[]
Aliases:Id
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Path

Specifies an array of valid paths. The cmdlet gets the supported cluster sizes for the paths you specify.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Notes

  • When used in Failover Cluster, cmdlets from the Storage module operate on cluster level (all servers in the cluster).
