That's funny, my Freebsd system formated the drive as UFS, not FFS. Apparently 5.x supports UFS2 in addition to the older UFS1. No mention of FFS. >From "The Complete FreeBSD, 4th edition" Greg Lehey (c) 2003, p190: "UFS is the UNIX File System. All [FreeBSD] native disk file systems are of this type. Since FreeBSD 5.0 you have a choice of two different versions, UFS 1 and UFS 2." (UFS 2 supports >1TB.) A foot note: "Paradoxically, although BSD may not be called UNIX, its file system is called the UNIX File System. The UNIX System Group, the developers of UNIX System V.4, adopted UFS as the standard file system for System V and gave it this name. Previously it was called the Berkeley Fast File System, or ffs." Jacob, I find it amusing that you are quoting [old] linux sources and I, BSD sources. Our roles are reversed for once. ;) Cory -- Cory Petkovsek Adapting Information Adaptable IT Consulting Technology to your (858) 705-1655 business [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.AdaptableIT.com _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
