Yes, but how much variation is there? I checked the first reference
you gave and some of them are FATxx (these are used on Unix?) and nfs
and and obsolete one and an IBM one (which we don't have here -- and
how many sites have this) and IDS9660 (CD's -- not really a Unix
thing) and such.

Also, here where I work we use UFS. So that's the most relevant one
for me and I'd think a good one to start with.

Thanks for your help!
