From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m using ext4 and the contents of the HDD are basically virtual machines, and I was able to access most of them (who use dynamic virtual hard drives) and they seem to work without problem, so I assumed that nothing got corrupted.
Actually I was surprised because a long ago I tried to do the same with BFTRS and all my data get corrupted that time.
And it’s interesting, thanks for the info. I didn’t know that it worked like that.
