X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:47:43 -0000 There was a vnconfig way back in FreeBSD that allowed for managing virtual disks or disks as files. What is the means to handle that kind of situation? I have a couple of NTFS and UFS partitions on physical disks which I would like to dd to files and then mount them as virtual nodes or whatever that is called now. -- Christoph Kukulies
