I installed FreeBSD onto a boot-partition (p400i-controller) and used the external storage (p800) as database-partition (eight 15K rpm sas-disks in raid 1+0). Same with Ubuntu. When I re-installed FreeBSD and ubuntu I wiped and formatted the previous partitions. Ubuntu used ext3 which I guess is default fs. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
