It's the ones commonly used for live systems which don't. At the end of the day, if you want to maximize portability then use FAT and live with the big allocation units. Or do something to ensure that UIDs and GIDs are themselves portable across hosts. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
