Hi all,

I would like to build up a file server under FreeBSD, and I have some
questions :
- what is the maximum size of an ufs filesystem ?
- if I choose ext2fs instead of ufs, can I take full advantage, under
  FreeBSD, of the Terabyte filesystem size of ext2fs ?
- are ext2fs tools (mke2fs, e2fsck) available under FreeBSD ?
- can I NFS export an ext2fs filesystem ?

Thanks,
