Any idea on how to achieve at least a restricted form of write access (e.g. without letting one change file size or attributes, only data blocks) ? This way i could create zeroed swapfiles/MFS images of the right size while in NT, and then have them usable when booting FreeBSD. thanks luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .
