To the filesystem list we could also add a bunch more from other OS's. For instance Linux's ext2fs, MSDOS's FAT and FAT32, BeOS's Befs, NT's NTFS. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe most major operating systems have their own filesystem. Of course each one has it's pro's and con's, but that is way out of my league. ---------------------- Jeremy Wiebe jerwiebe@canada.com icq: 4945359 Reply to message from jschultz@home.com of Sat, 18 Sep > >I was just wondering what all the different file systems are used for and >what they stand for.
