FreeBSD's high-performance filesystem is called "FFS", which is used by default. There is nothing slow about it except for boot-time filesystem checking on extremely large (hundreds of gigabytes or more) filesystems after an un-clean reboot, which could take a while. It even has "peace of mind" (reliablility features) like some or all of the filesystems you listed do. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - x86-64, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org No trees were harmed in the composition of this message, although some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.
