I've got FreeBSD on a 120GB hda, and I've got another 320GB hda that I want to start storing all of my data (movies, musics, uni stuff etc) on.
I know I could simply format it ufs and mount it in fstab at boot but I want to make sure I'm doing things as safely and reliably as possible as I'd like this data to be somewhat safe.
So is there anything out the ordinary I should do for this sort of set up? What about specific options (dump, pass etc) in /etc/fstab for mounting. ufs or fat32? Which would be mroe likely to survive a cold shutdown (because it seems like ufs get corrupted after ANY cold shutdown...)
Thanks to anyone who can give advice to my vague question, Cheers.
