I don't know. All I know is that old computers need those overlay software if you have a big hard disk. One thing I like with FreeBSD is that it recognize the seagate overlay drivers unlike Linux OS it doesn't know what does overlay software does. I have tested this, I installed the seagate manager then installed FreeBSD and it went thru and was able to used it w/o any problems. Base on FreeBSD FAQ, FreeBSd do not destroy what seagate overlay did, instead FreeBSD rearrange it in a way that it can be managed. You know what, I am beginning to learn this OS.
