Why use on RAD: and 5.25? Keywords: rad: FFS, why Message-ID: Date: 31 Jan 91 16:09:47 GMT Sender: news@noose.ecn.purdue.edu (USENET news) Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Lines: 23 Well i just got a 5.25 drive (Now to find some disks..) and in the 1.3 docs it keeps mentioning that ya can mount it to use the FASTFILESYSTEM, But never mentions WHY you'd want to do this.. I've also seen articials where they mount rad: using the FFS, but again they never say WHY ffs for RAD or a 5.25 is "better" then the normal filesyste, WHY IS FFS Better for RAD: and a 5.25? I know it speeds up HARD drives a LOT. but does it do this for RAD:/5.25's ps: If i want a 5.25 sized rad, i just make it's hicyl and locyl like the 5.25 mountlist entry right??? thanx. -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York ---------------------------------------------- Macintosh...
