All's quite set up to do this fast and easy, except for one thing: in my linux machine I have a large "LAN-shared" drive, using the EXT3 filesystem. This drive must not be down too long, otherwise I get into lots of trouble w/ my homemates :-)) (wife, children..) I think FreeBSD does _not_ support the linux ext2 / ext3 What is the best way to change the filesystem on that drive? Use another one and copy the files, sure, but how, when fbsd doesn't understand ext2/ext3 ? -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
