Although using a Windows FAT32 partition is one way to share data between Linux and FBSD, if you're recompiling your FBSD kernel you might consider adding support for the Linux ext2 filesystem. You need a line like this in your kernel source: options EXT2FS You'll get a quaint warning about how you are about to "contaminate" your kernel with GPL code. Nevertheless, it will compile fine, and after installing the new kernel you'll be able to mount ext2 and ext3 partitions from FBSD. The advantages of not using FAT32 includes, among other things, allowing you to preserve permissions when moving files between FBSD and Linux. regards, Robert
