Schluntz" To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm getting ready to setup a laptop with FreeBSD and NT on it (I need NT for some of the phone work I do) and I also need to be able to work with long file names in a shared location for both. I'm thinking of using a 500meg Mac formatted partition on the hard disk as NT will be able to use it (With a tool I have) and I seem to recall that FreeBSD can mount it. My question is this, how reliable is the Mac File system mounting capability of FreeBSD? Can it stand up to everyday heavy use or should I think of doing something else? Thanks! -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
