Note that I don't believe that any Linuxi support FFS2, but it's been several months since I've checked. I also seem to remember warnings about buggy FFS drivers for Linux. Are the ext2 drivers for FreeBSD stable? If you format FFS, make sure to do FFS1 -- FFS2 is the default in newer versions of FreeBSD. ext2 might be a safer bet. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
