And other things too, of course. I can't see why the OP would use it in that situation, and can think of good reasons *not* to use it. FFS is native to FreeBSD and is less likely to get screwed up than FAT even if FAT were native. I've not benchmarked it, but I'll bet FFS is faster as well. Through Samba or FTP, the clients won't know the difference. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
