Their are a lot of filesystems for Linux. In Fedora, the default filesystem is ext3 which is a journaling filesystem. Their's also Ext2, jfs, reiserfs, UFS (which I think is used on Sun and SGI/MacOSX machines), etc. Don't know about the UFS filesystem though, just that you can mount it. Not sure about read/write mode. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Nickelson" <roylee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 6:34 PM Subject: Re: 200 gb hdd partitions > hi, > if I remember corectly using fat32 you can't make a partition larger than 32 > GB so you would need about 5 partitions do do that.
