Hi Yes we did :-) This is why I think it would be a great idea to add it in the FAQ. Hey guys from the doc, how could I submit something like: --------- Q: Can FreeBSD read FAT32 partitions? A: Yes it can, the 2.2.7 and 3.x versions of the FreeBSD Operating System support it. Assuming that wd0s1 is your first FAT32 partitions, you can execute the mount command has root: "# mkdir /dos" "# chmod 770 /dos" "# mount -v -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos" or read only: "# mount -rv -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /dos" or add it in the /etc/fstab file: "/dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos rw 0 0" or read only: "/dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos ro 0 0" WARNING: this text may have some error in it. --------- Tank you, -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
