=== {{Not a typo|umsdos}} === The key advantage to ''{{Not a typo|umsdos}}'' out of the three is that it provides full Unix file semantics. Therefore, it can be used in situations where it is desirable to install Linux on and run it from a FAT disk volume, which require such semantics to be available. However, Linux installed on and running from such a disk volume is slower than Linux installed on and running from a disk volume formatted with, for example, the [[ext2]] filesystem format.<ref name="StanfieldSmith"/><ref name="StroberElling">{{cite book |title=Linux, unleashing the workstation in your PC |series=The Complete Linux Kit, Rainer Maurer |author-first1=Stefan |author-last1=Strobel |author-first2=Volker |author-last2=Elling |edition=3rd |publisher=Springer |year=1997 |isbn=978-0-387-94880-5 |pages=43}}</ref> Further, unless a utility program is regularly run every time that one switches from running Windows to running Linux, certain changes made to files and directories on the disk by Windows will cause error messages about inaccessible files in Linux.<ref name="McCune">{{cite book |title=Integrating Linux and Windows |series=Open source technology series |author-first=Mike |author-last=McCune |publisher=[[Prentice Hall PTR]] |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-13-030670-8 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/integratinglinux0000mccu/page/7 7–9] |url=https://archive.org/details/integratinglinux0000mccu/page/7 }}</ref>
