Hello, I'm about to setup a dual boot of linux + freebsd (5.2.1-RELEASE) on a 160gb hard disk. I'd really like linux and freebsd to share (be able to read and write) the bulk of the disk so that I can work in either environment freely. FreeBSD's ext2fs kernel module would seem preferable over a msdosfs install (yuck...), but SYS-NOTES labels it as dangerous for even read-only. Is FreeBSD capable of reliable ext2fs read+write? If not, is there a filesystem besides msdosfs that I can share between FreeBSD and Linux? Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
