FreeBSD has included support for MS-DOS filesystems for some time. This support does tend to be temperamental, particularly when used to access certain large DOS partitions. However, it can be perfectly usable (at least for simple data transfers) if set up optimally. That said, I am actively working on a replacement filesystem, which includes VFAT (ie. Windows 95 long filename, etc) support. As this is a part-time project, I can't absolutely guarantee availability in 2.2, but I am currently working with that in mind. -- Robert Nordier
