[nycbug-talk] cflash root filesystem

[George Georgalis]

I'm about to install world (netbsd 3.0) on a cflash for a firewall,
but what is the best filesystem to use?

There won't be much on this system so I was thinking no swap, and
it can all go on sd0a (ie no var or usr partition).

In disklabel I have these types available...

Supported file system types:
        4.1BSD          ccd             jfs             System V
        4.2BSD          Eighth Edition  Linux Ext2      unknown
        4.4LFS          FILECORE        MSDOS           unused
        ADOS            HFS             NTFS            Version 6
        Apple UFS       HPFS            RAID            Version 7
        boot            ISO9660         swap            vinum

I'm thinking 4.2BSD and UFS2 with softupdates and noatime, logs
will be minimal or to a disk based host; any mistakes here?
