Today you will probably definitely go for UFS2. It's not really about some speed advantage, but about reliability. UFS2, if set up properly, can perform quite well even under heavy I/O load. The filesystem parameters that you can set using tunefs to reflect what will be important in usage: will it be many small files, will it be huge files, will it be for a hard disk or a SSD? Additional features such as soft updates and journaling, which can help in increasing filesystem performance, are available for UFS2, not for UFS1, if I remember correctly. See "man tunefs" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
