General information is fine, but please also cover: 1. Efficient Disk Usage - any min file size etc like fat? 2. Any disk compression advisable or even needed? 3. Any disk size limits? I believe I've seen some say there are limits in the size disk you can use, but others seemed to reply and say that that was old limits. 4. Other than speed, any difference in how FBSD works with ATA -vs- SCSI (eg: size limits differences) Thanks, Bruce ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
