You can use whatever filesystem you want. It's just a filesystem..it doesn't care about the underlying disk medium. You can create a FFS filesystem on a floppy disk the same way you create one on a hard disk (using newfs, or newfs_* for other filesystems). > Why is it what we don't have to fragment our hard-disks all the time > like I did in windows? The filesystem is designed not to become fragmented under normal use. On the other hand FAT was not designed very well (at all? :). > I also heard that the filesystem for hard-disk > will be updated in FreeBSD 5.0, can you guide my to some info about > this?
