Hi Bruce, Thanks for this info. It's way beyond my technical understanding (which is truely minimal!), but I think I get the idea. What would this look like as a series of commands? Or better yet, what's the "right" way to share data between FreeBSD -current/coming and linux in a dual boot situation? ... Which is the real objective, (not playing with e2fs! ;.-) /Paul Bruce Evans wrote: > On Sun, 5 Jan 2003, Paul A. Mayer wrote: > > >>I does printf, but it doesn't initiate the e2fsck.
