I study FreeBSD (I come from linux) and I'm not sure which filesystem use. My situation: install a fileserver (samba) for 3 clients and put it as gateway/server on internet (ssh, and samba to internal lan). I installed FreeBSD with raid 1 following this howto: http://www.ateamsystems.com/blog/Installing-FreeBSD-9-gmirror-GPT-partitions-raid-1 everything ok! I see that use ufs filesystem, now: I'd like have less maintenance possible direclty to machine because this server is far to me 50Km. So I can use ssh for default (and extra) maintenance. Which filesystem is "better"? After total crash of system (i.e.) or black-out, ufs can repair it by itself? Or better use ufs+journal? or zfs? Motherboard is atom dual core with 2Gb of ram and 2 disks with 2Gb each. Thanks for the help! Best regards Pol
