Newbie to OBSD.


What would OBSD default FS to if I were to install OBSD 3.5 ?
Is it journalling FS such as ext3 or JFS on Linux?
What other file systems are native on BSDs especially OBSD?


TIA

Open BSD uses the OpenBSD UFS. With BSD you are generally going to be dealing with UFS. As of OpenBSD 3.5, I think the file system did add some jounaling, but someone might want to verify that for me. I think that is what I read in the 3.5 release notes.

Just dealing in terms of buzzwords, Im pretty sure all of the bsd's use softupdates instead of journaling, and theo has ragged on journaling filesystems... there was a link over at kernel trap:

Its a bit of the way down. happy reading.

Uh hah, while reading a link from this thread (http://screamingelectron.org/forum/showthread.php?p=10847#post10847), I found that OBSD uses FFS ( Unix Fast File System ) instead of Journals. Thanks for replies.

Now if they would update TCT to work with it, I'd be happy. I guess for some reason I was lead to believe that FFS did do journaling. Oh well.

i really like Softupdates..

the few times i had power fails, my OpenBSD boxes never had failures..
my linux boxes with ReiserFS always had massive errors, some had to be completely redone.

softupdates rock! You can even run softupfates now with raidframe on OpenBSD
