FreeBSD uses it's own UFS file system which has some advantages and
disadvantags w.r.t. the file systems you mention. It can mount and access
file systems with all the other formats you describe but it would be best
if it were installed on it's own UFS partition.

+------------------
FreeBSD and Linux are to Unix as potato chips and pork rinds are
to snack foods. :-)
