I was just wondering what all the different file systems are used for and
what they stand for.  This is what I have know (or do not know) so far:

ufs - ?universal? file system, basic file system for unix
mfs - memory file system, a file system created in memory(RAM) thus very
fast
nfs - network file system, a file system for networking, allows for remote
system to mount it as a local file system
ffs - fast file system - uummm its fast :)
Are there any others avaible?

Also I have the all my file system mounted by ufs(default?), can I switch
current file system to others.  Specifically I wanted to use nfs so i can
mount a remote file system to me local one.  I have three FreeBSD(3.2)
machines(PC, Laprop, and a Natd/gateway machine)

Thanks
