I know that there is a FreeNAS forum out there and I've already asked this question there but couldn't get a reply. But I think this may be a general FreeBSD question anyway. Inside of the FreeNAS mount utility I saw something that said:
Warning: UFS and variants are the NATIVE file format for FreeBSD (the underlying OS of FreeNAS). Attempting to use other file formats such as FAT, FAT32, EXT2, EXT3, or NTFS can result in unpredictable results, file corruption, and loss of data!
I'm a newb to this and that completely scared me because most of the drives I'm about to stick into this box are NTFS and they already have data on them. Will my data become corrupt if I place these drives in FreeNAS or any FreeBSD system for that matter?
