Just-Curious: "Bob"


When you format the hard disk on a UNIX PC, after selecting the drive type
you have to answer the question, "Will this system be used by more than one
user?"

Does anyone know why this question is asked, or how the disk is formatted
differently depending on the answer?  Just curious.
