better than that!  SYSVR4 (according to AT&T), lets you create either SYSV 
file partitions, OR BSD FFS partitions.  Yes, those are called "Fast 
File System" partitions (in this case, it has no reference to Amiga's FFS)
The BSD stuff is considerably faster than SYSV partitions.... Besides the 
fact that you get 255 char filenames, soft links, hard links, etc.  
(Try "mv" on a directory, I'd like to see if that works - It should... under
SYSVR3.x it doesn't!)
