This option is non-windows only!

 

For UNIX like devices, IncludeFileSystemType allows to include specific types of file systems that may otherwise be excluded (this preference is not applicable to Microsoft Windows).

 

The .ufs, .zfs, and .lofs file systems use virtual device notes (within the operating system) rather than listing their drives as physical /dev/... services. This makes it more difficult to determine whether they are local or remote file systems and they would therefore logically be excluded when IncludeNetworkDrives=False (the default). When these file systems are running locally on a UNIX-like device, this setting allows for the exclusion of network drives and still allows fpr inventory collection from the local file system by nominating the file system type(s).

 

This file system whitelist is completed by a blacklist in ExcludeFileSystemType.

 

 

Keep in mind the potential interaction between the following preferences:

•IncludeDirectory

•IncludeNetworkDrives

•IncludeFileSystemType and ExcludeFileSystemType (on UNIX like systems only).

Of these, IncludeDirectory has the lowest priority and the priority increases down the list. This means that on UNIX like systems, IncludeFileSystemType (the highest priority) can be an exception to the general rule that "exclude overrides include".
