Unix File System Issues on Mac OS X?

rlthomps-1 asks: "I've been thinking about reformatting my Mac's hard drive in UFS, since I've seen the option on the install screen. I was looking for advantages of the Unix file system since it sounds like it would have better performance over HFS+. After viewing this Apple kbase article I wasn't so sure. A test system at work won't install software correctly because the drive name is stuck as '/' among other problems. Why would Apple include the UFS option if it offers such reduced functionality, and is anyone out there using it for non-server applications? What for? Are there advantages to UFS on the desktop Mac OS?"

Do you have a link to CVS issues? I have been running into strange issues with CVS and ssh on my computer... if I run CVS it kills my ability to ssh. If you can explain this I would be overwhelmingly pleased. Link?
