At the moment, the best bet for sharing between linux & freebsd seems to be a FAT file system. Add windows/dos into the mix, and I"d stick with fat for certain. I have yet to have anyone tell me that a couple of old problems with linux and *bsd using one another's filee systems have been solved. At about version 3.2, I tried to use my linux partitions with freebsd, and there would be occasional insertions of random data into the file systems. From the other direction, linux kills the parititon information when you slip and try to mount a bsd slice as ext2. At the moment, I'm having a problem with linux being unable ot write to a bsd partition as a user (I think root can write). MOunt shows my bsd drives mounted rw, but any attempt to write yields a "RO file system" error. hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
