I've been dabbling with FreeBSD a little over a week now, and I was wondering about other filesystems, and how often they are used? Also journaling filesystems like ext3 and Reiser that Linux has. I was doing some Google searches, and I saw that ufs uses soft updates to make up for not journaling? Any alternative filesystems for FreeBSD that are popular? Also, I was checking into encrypted filesystems, and came up with cfs...does anyone actually use this in practice? There didn't seem to be much discussion that I could turn up on Usenet archives on Google. Also, I've picked up Greg Lehey's _The_Complete_FreeBSD_. This was based on some Amazon reviews I've read and the fact that my local B&N actually only carried this one out of like six potentially good titles I wrote down before going to B&N. It doesn't seem bad; it just seems a tad thin on some areas, and thick on others (that I don't think I'll necessarily need). Anyone have any recommendations for a good supplement to this book...besides the web site, that is? I know lots of folks like to point there for answers, but I want something I can sit down and read offline. -- Sean LeBlanc:seanleblanc@home.com Yahoo:seanleblancathome ICQ:138565743 MSN:seanleblancathome AIM:sleblancathome We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing. -R.
