Freebsd and Openbsd filesystem


Do Freebsd and Openbsd use the same filesystem? If no, which is their name? Can OpenBSD recognize (read, write) a Freebsd parition?
Thanks

No they do not. They're both based on the UFS (which was also used by Solaris, etc). FreeBSD and OpenBSD have implemented softdep differently, and the metadata available in UFS2 (FreeBSD) is improved over FFS in OpenBSD. OpenBSD and read/write UFS, and I believe it can read UFS2, but not write it (yet). I know a few months ago a lot of UFS2 stuff was going into the -current tree, but I haven't read the commit messages recently to see if it's been activated.
