Linux to *BSD migration. FS issues.

Gavin Harper · 04-13-2011, 03:26 PM

I am considering moving my server from Linux to a *BSD but have one concern regarding the file systems in play.

I currently have two discs in my server, a dedicated OS disc then a 1TB disc for the content hosted by the server. In addition, there is an external HD that serves as a mirror backup for the 1TB disc.

Currently, all 3 discs in use are ext3.

What would be an appropriate file system for applying to the 2x 1TB drives such that they can be accessed freely by both *BSD and Linux should this test-switch not prove to be as fruitful as I hope?

I appreciate any advice.

Thank you

It may be worthwhile to read through this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e-ext4-818146/

Among other things, it discusses the filesystem challenges you'll be up against.
