What do you mean "default file system"?

default file system is FS of partition where OS is installed (i am not sure but in solaris we do have this variable in /etc/default/vfstab)

For Linux it's one of ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs[2], or xfs, depending on distribution, version thereof, and what you selected on install. No, it's not defined in any file (usually, there might be exceptions)

Why do you ask a question like this without specifying the operating system?

If you want good answers to questions, post the most basic details!

Please state Operating System.
