If you're feeling adventurous and have access to a relatively large MS-DOS formatted disk that gives a "disk too big, sorry" error when you try to mount it, please try out this patch and let me know how it goes: http://people.freebsd.org/~tjr/fileno32.diff (http://perforce.freebsd.org/chv.cgi?CH=40907) I don't have access to disks big enough to cause the error message, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work. Although there is very little chance of it causing data loss, it'd be best to try it on a read-only filesystem first, and to make sure that you have backups. Tim
