Hi! I've got several filesystem-related questions on hold. 1). What is this all about: ufs, mfs, ffs? What so many names? Do they relay to the same fs-type? What are abbreviations stand for? 2). Ext2fs vs. FreeBSD filesystem: when I mount ext2fs partition, do I get write/read access? Will all uids/gids will still be actual (I mean, when resolving name for id, my /etc/passwd & group files will be used). I can't check all this right now since I don't have ext2fs parts right now; otherwise I won't bother you ;-) 4). Maybe more -hackers or -fs related questions, but, still, I am kinda interested in FSes, so: how does FreeBSD FS compete with ext2fs? Which one shows better performance (of course, in different cases it would be different, such as: low disk usage, intensive disk usage, caching strategy/algorithms, when disk is almost full (NTFS would be totaly f%cked up here) and so on....). Any information would be appreciated. 5). What is 'soft-update' (sorry, no mans to read, since my fBSD box is staying down: no monitor :-( OK.
