I'm just wondering how people are dealing with them in FreeBSD. I don't have any operational problems with them. I'm just wondering if I'm doing things the hard way. First Question: Which filesystem are people using on usb flash drives and removable hard drives? I'm using a mixture of ufs2, ext2, and msdos. I'm using ufs2 because I'm also using cfs to encrypt the contents and although I haven't tested this, I'm fairly certain cfs want's semantics that aren't in the msdos filesystem. Second Question: Are most people using vfs_usermount=3D1? I'm using the automounter. It's a little bit more work to setup but I'm using a laptop and since I've started to use the automounter the number of times that I've had to fsck my removable drive because I've suspended my laptop with a pendrive still attached and mounted has been reduced incredibly.
