The whole point of the FS is that it abstracts file access so that you don't need different programs to access different types of drive. (ie I don't need tar which works with MFS, FFS, and NFS, because the FS abstracts access to files..) Perhaps MSDOSFS needs the 'soft' option a la NFS =) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
