Just a doubt: FFS is not the same as UFS (unix filesystem)??? I installed
FreeBSD and let FreeBSD to partition my hard drive and in fstab I have the
partitions mounted as UFS.
thanks

Note that I don't believe that any Linuxi support FFS2, but it's been
several months since I've checked.  I also seem to remember warnings
about buggy FFS drivers for Linux.  Are the ext2 drivers for FreeBSD
stable?

If you format FFS, make sure to do FFS1 -- FFS2 is the default in newer
versions of FreeBSD.  ext2 might be a safer bet.
