Note one: Unix has always used "partitions" to mean a chunk of the disk that holds a file system. FreeBSD puts partitions inside of "slices". What most of the world calls "partitions" FreeBSD calls "slices". Anyway, you should be able to mount it with mount_ntfs. All you need is the slice number. Primary slices are numbered 1-4, logical slices start at 5 and go up from there. If it's the first logical partition on the first ATA drive, it'd be /dev/ad0s5. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
