I don't mean UnixFS should become a imageFS. Thats absolutely out of intrest.
What I meant was, it would be nice if it would be possible to have IDE or
SCSI medias formated as FFS. It is more a FFS for RiscOS what I want, not an
imageFS again;
I think there are already enough of them are available.
With FFS formated/partitioned discs one could easy exchange datas with other
BSD systems and you even would have finaly a filesystem which is better than
ADFS and compatible to some other UNIX boxes.
I guess, no machine than a acorn one can handle ADFS discs :((
Ciao, Peter.
