While I haven't audited all of the content of the following, it appears to be generally correct and a great primer on filesystem specifics/limitations, also including good links off to other sites for further reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems If you have other questions feel free to E-mail off-list since this is OT.
