It wouldn't be bootable with FreeBSD though. Thanks. Last time when I used NTFS on FreeBSD it was only for reading. I tested it now on an older CURRENT and it's fine. So I will use gpart(8) to restructure the disk as: da0p1 freebsd-boot (512k) da0p2 freebsd-ufs (100G) da0p3 freebsd-swap (10G) da0p4 NTFS (1300G) And format the later with Windows tools to NTFS. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub May, 9: Спаси́бо освободители!
