What filesystems would Google Chrome OS work with?

What filesystems would Google Chrome OS work with? When Google releases their Chrome OS, my first prerequisite would be to work with my current files. What filesystems would it work with? (have read-write access). Would it support Windows partitions? (NTFS) and Unix partitions? (EXT/UFS). And lastly, which filesystem would it use natively and/or perform best with?

"As it's going to be based on the Linux kernel, I think you would be pretty safe in assuming it will support the usual ext3 filesystem.

It's impossible to guess what Google are going to do, but if they want to make any progress with their 'OS' they will need to ensure a maximum level of interoperability with existing systems to make the changeover as easy as possible for new users."

"Depending on what exactly it is, it's possible that most of its storage will be ""in the cloud"".

That aside, as others have said, it's probably going to use the normal Linux-ey file systems. You'll likely be able to use FUSE to use other file systems with it."
