One more question: My 1st hard drive, master on drive 1, w/ the CD-ROM as slave, has Linux at /dev/hda5 / /dev/hda6 /home and so forth, according to Linux (the Linux fstab). My second hard drive, master on drive 2, is where FreeBSD resides, at /dev/wd2s1b swap /dev/wd2s1a / /dev/wd2s1f /usr and so forth, according to my FreeBSD fstab. The 1st drive does not appear in the fstab. Would my command for mounting my come file in Linux be mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd0s6 /mnt or, equally, mount_ext2fs /dev/wd0s6 /mnt or would the ext2fs be called /dev/wd0sf? Or /dev/wd1s6 or wd1sf? Or do I need to use Linux's nomenclature and call it /dev/hda6? Thanks. As always, I appreciate your knowledge and grace in helping us newbies and newbie-likes. :-) Chris Booth > ---------- > From: Doug White > Sent: Tuesday, May 4, 1999 7:01 PM > To: Booth, Christopher > Cc: 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG'; 'cbooth@aixx.net' > Subject: Re: Sharing Files w/ Linux in Same Box > > On Tue, 4 May 1999, Booth, Christopher wrote: > > > Greetings: > > > > I have two hard drives: > > > > Drive one is a 1.2-GB hard drive with a 53-MB DOS partition and the rest > > given over to Red Hat Linux 5.0, and > > > > Drive 2 is a 2-GB hard drive dedicated to FreeBSD, running 3.1. > > > > I would like to be able to copy some files from myself in Linux to > myself in > > FreeBSD.
