Well, I've noticed that UFS seems to be considerably slower than HFS+.
I deal with the speed issue on my development box, but its scares me a
bit to think about running a busy server with it.
As for the DiscCopy idea, I really had not thought of that. Again, I
use UFS on my box and everything that I need to run works fine, just
slower than the HFS+ experience. I wonder if a DiskCopy image of a UFS
file system would be faster than UFS? Given that, perhaps, the
directory traversals might be quicker?
I'd really like a quicker version of UFS or a case sensitive version of
HFS+.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Not to belabor a point, but the case sensitivity issue is the the

to tell users, that their "case retaining" files have overwritten
themselves because the file system is actually "case insensitive."
Would anyone understand that?
What would prevent you from using UFS on your XServe?
And on your own hard drive, it is often useful to use DiskCopy to make
a small UFS image for those cases where you need case-sensitivity,
while leaving the rest of your drive as HFS+ for Mac compatibility.
