UFS stands for "UNIX File System" but that's kind of a misnomer; not many UNIX's use UFS. It's -a- BSD filesystem, but there are plenty of others. "BSD" is a very (VERY) large family of UNIX's, all of which are about a similar to each other as Windows 3.1 is to Windows 98SE. UFS in OS X stems from NeXTStep and, IIRC, is provided for backwards compatibilities mostly for developers (that's how it was explained to me at WWDC a couple of years ago). ext2 is the filesystem used (primarily) by Linux OS's. There is no single, universal filesystem used by UNIX OS's. There's pretty much a unique FS for every UNIX out there. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Low End Macs - G-Books "ListNanny" Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
