I have a SyQuest drive with cartridges I intend to share between a Linux and FreeBSD box. My question is if I should "format" the cartridges with FreeBSD's UFS file system or Linux's Ext2, or more specifically what the performance difference is. I know that UFS is roughly 2x faster over MSDOS FAT, but am not sure about ext2. Linux supposedly supports UFS r/o, but I've had problems before (I believe the actually error messages was "I/O Error: Fu**ing Sun Blows Me") and I'd prefer ext2. I know FreeBSD has supported ext2 r/w for a while, but will I lose performance? Also, can I change permissions on the ext2 drive while it's mounted under FreeBSD? -- "Calling the Lilith Fair 'A Celebration of Women in Music' is like calling Burger King 'A Celebration of Food'." -- Deborah Wolfinsohn John "The Fisherman" Heyer - http://john.jfive.com The Bastard Boat - http://primus.jfive.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
