Yesterday as I was saving some data from a then corrupt NT installation (The
data was not corrupt, something with the configuration wouldn't allow NT to
boot ) I mounted my NTFS drive under FreeBSD 3.1.  I started a pax -rw of the
volume onto /usr/tmp and some time into the copy the machine simply rebooted. 
Once the machine came back up I scanned for any logged errors and checked
available drive space.  There was plenty of free space and no errors were
logged.

Is mount_ntfs that unstable or could it be something else?


On a similar note, I was mounting MSDOS floppies to try and get a working boot
disk.  Upon copying a file to the mounted floppy the machine hung completely.
Is this also a known problem or is this normal behavior?

(I realize there are MSDOS utilities in /usr/ports but cp felt doable 8)
