It worked well both reading and writing, I had the stuff in my fstab and mounted the whole bunch at boot switching from one OS to another when I was trying to learn fBSD (yep, Linux is gone these days ;-). I had to mount the BSD partitions (inside one pc slice) separately onto my Linux fs though as well as the whole slice which in Linux showed only my BSD / partition. This is likely caused by the different partitioning style and ditto device names I suppose. FYI, it's a one disk scsi box. Maybe an upgrade might be justifiable?
