I've had BSD file systems performing at a minium of two times faster than 'other' Unix file system. Name the type of file system, and name the OS. I don't know how many different file systems [some were no more than file handlers and didn't deserve the name system]. At least one commercial OS I've worked with let you pick from one of 4 file-systems, or a mix of them. Picking the wrong file system for a particular applicaton can make things go down hill in a hurry. -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
