I'm currently running Linux on an EISA system with an Adaptec 1742 card, and was wondering how support for this card in NetBSD is. The NetBSD repository, sun-lamp, uses a 1742, and Chris says he's timed disk access at 1.4MB/s. `Works for me.' In general, how do the two filesystems (Linux ext2fs and FFS) compare? In my direct experience with both, FFS is much more mature and stable, though a bit slower primarily because it is very careful to ensure the file system structure does not get corrupted in the event of a crash.
