Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, This is a fairly general question about FreeBSD that I could not find an answer to. I searched everywhere! I have used OS/2 Warp (3 and 4), WinNT4 and since 2 years ago, linux (currently Mandrake 7.0). The question I need an answer to is, What is FreeBSD's FS called and where can I read up about it? Is it a journaling fs type? If not, why not? And how easy/difficult is it to replace the current FS with another? Due to silly users (and non-users!) our clients require idiot-proof and reliable systems that won't die from "accidental cable trips". I need an OS that has this "feature". None of the above really cuts it, IMHO. Linux being the current best that I could use. Backup - reinstalls often take too long. Being able to just switch on after such power failures is a HUGE boon, if available. (sure as hell would make my life easier!) Well, thanks for your time, and thanks in advance for your reply.
