Yes, ext4 is very much better than ext3. They made some major improvements to the (meta)data layout. MacOS isn't really *NIX itself. It's a layered system of several different APIs (BSD, Cocoa, NeXT), with a Mach kernel. It is POSIX compliant, but so is Windows. I really wish I could read ext[234] on MacOS. It would simplify my external drive access. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86990 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
