See the recent discussion (on -hackers, I think) about this. The position seems to be that it's not currently supported, but one may well be forthcoming, if agreement can be reached on suitable licensing conditions. > Second question, is it possible to use BSD 4.3 filesystem on FreeBSD?

If you mean something like "can FreeBSD read my old Sun disc", the answer's almost certainly no, as there are all sorts of complications like little/big-endian which come into play. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
