you recommend for this drive, ext2?, fat?...
If you are only using FreeBSD, formatting it in the native FFS or
FFS2 would make the most sense.
If you want to access these files from Windows or some other
operating system, using FAT might be reasonable, although you should
probably archive your files using tar, pax, dump, etc to preserve
filesystem metadata that would otherwise be lost.
