> A filesystem is not a file format. What's the difference? As soon as you take the Unix "everything is a file" approach, your filesystem IS a file format. I run VirtualBox - all my filesystems really are files. Etc etc. Once you start digging, it's all a distinction without a difference ... (take a look at file containers, like zip, vorbis (or is it ogg), mp3 and mp4, etc. What IS the difference between a file and a filesystem?)
