thanks, but what I'm asking is:

1. What are the various file systems a user can choose from?
2. Where is good, detailed, technical info/documentation on the various file 
systems?
3. Does anybody know of a source which compares the various file systems 
with the various Linux file systems, in terms of performance, etc.?

Thanks
Robert
