Please excuse my ignorance, but I have a few questions...

I understand that A/UX 2.0 is able to run two different file systems.
I believe that one is the standard System V, and the other choice
is the Berkeley Fast File System?  Is this correct?

Assuming the above is correct, what are the differences between the
two?  What are the advantages of each?  I've gotten the impression
that FFS is better, is this true?  Why?  Why would I not want to run
it?  Are the two compatable and able to be mounted simultaneously?

Sorry about the abundance of vague questions.  I will be installing
A/UX 2.0 on another drive soon (hopefully), and I would guess that
that would be a good time to switch from Sys V to FFS if this move
is desirable.

Thanks a *lot*!
