I use FreeBSD 90% or more and OS X just for listening music and converting video files which on FreeBSD with ffmpeg I have problems. I have external hard drive from the subject on which I have one partition for OS X backup and other I like to use for both. I have many video files on FreeBSD which I want to copy on external drive and than use them on OS X. Thanks. -- ajtiM -------- http://www.redbubble.com/people/lumiwa
