1) obligatory: rtfm 2) the fm you want is the kernel--you need to compile in ext2fs support, which is differnt than linux support. It can't be shipped as a binary as it uses code from the license that won't share, the GPL . . . 3) read the online freebsd handbook (you can get there under the support/documnentation links on the main page). 4) the command you will want is mount_ext2fs, so rtfm for mount 5) be careful. Mount ro if that's enough. I would guess it's been solved by now, but noone has ever confirmed it for me--a couple of years ago (3.2?), freebsd would, at times, write garbage data in files. I think this only happpened while writing to that file; it's the only place I encountered it. But on a machine up 24/7, I was having problems every day or two until I figured out the problem (it wasn't heavy load, either--the machine was up to serve my job market pages). The other way is trouble, too--linux ufs rw support is still experimental. 6) the best way I've found to share files between freebad and linux is on a FAT partition--it's the only on that both seem to support well. hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
