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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
