Is it possible to run linux (or freebsd) binaries directly from a local ext2fs partition? My machine dual boots between Freebsd 3.3-stable (as of Nov 7) and Red Hat 6.0. I have the linux_base-6.0 port installed, and I can run linux binaries by copying them to a freebsd partition. But I tried running them directly from their ext2fs partition and I got a "page fault while in kernel mode" panic. I'm not using soft updates, if that matters. I'm guessing that this is not supported and probably has nothing to do with linux binaries. If I'm wrong and this should work, then I'll be back with more details. But I thought I should check before I run too many experiments that crash my system. :-( While we're on the subject, on what filesystem types is it ok to run binaries? Local freebsd (UFS), NFS, and cdrom should all work, right? Are there others? --Mark Krentel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
