The only problem is that the filesystem has been truncated to 20GB! Now, booting into Windows shows it has also been truncated. Help! Does FreeBSD trash volumes that it assumes are 'too big'? cheers, Will To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
