I note that NetBSD and OpenBSD (now) have their own partition types, distinct from the old 386BSD one still used by FreeBSD. I note that FreeBSD (now) has per-partition disk labels, requiring relative offsets within partition, while NetBSD and OpenBSD have per-disk labels, requiring absolute offsets within disk. Assuming I put the right values into the relevant disk labels, is there some way that <x>BSD can read and/or read-write ffs partitions created by <y>BSD for <x> != <y>. (The partitions are all on the same disk, so I'm looking at mount -t ufs ...) Which combinations can read? Which combinations can write? Are the on-disk structures similar, or have they diverged in subtle/dangerous ways? Any caveats? -- Christopher Vance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
