Isn't it weird to mix folders > from /usr/compat/linux and / ? Is there any configuration of this? No, there's no config of this. The linuxolator depends upon this behavior. Without it it it either couldn't find the linux libs, or you aren't able to access your files with the native path. If you need to access a file which isn't visible, you just have to type in the full name. This way you aren't able to access a file which is also available with different content but the same name in /compat/linux, and you aren't able to browse with the mouse, but you can at least access it. > And how to jump to the real / folder from linux-app file chooser (currently I > just created a soft link to it)? There is button called "Filesystems" but > that does not go to freebsd /. There's no way to go to see the real / (except you do a null mount to somewhere else or something like this).
