Someone once told me that there is a program that can mount any type of
filesystem that the Linux kernel can mount, under FreeBSD.  The idea
being, that, you could mount a "vfat" partition (that Linux
supports, but FreeBSD does not) and thus get Win95 long filenames.  Or a
"smbfs" filesystem (again, which Linux supports, but FreeBSD does not) and
access a Samba filesystem directly from the filesystem.

I think it was called vMount, or something like that, but I am not sure.

Anyway, I can't, for the life of me, remember what it's called, or where
to get it.  (yes, I've already checked the latest ports/packages, and the
incoming directory on ftp.freebsd.org).

Can anyone help me out here with my (obviously faulty) "human RAM"? :)

Thanks...
