ogg vorbis. My music collection. It took me about 150 hours to oggify
all of my CD's, so I REALLY don't want to have to do it again.

Tried that. Same error.

I could do that. I'll try it. Thanks.

It's a funny story really. We moved all our servers at work from Linux
to FreeBSD. Cool. We like FreeBSD. So I moved my home machine to
FreeBSD. Cool. I like FreeBSD. Then I upgraded to 4.3 and had
wierdness using keyboard shortcuts in gnome. Then Mandrake 8 came out,
and I thought... well, maybe stick to Linux for the desktop, FreeBSD
on the laptop and FreeBSD on the servers. 

2 months of Linux life (complete with borked RPM upgrades, VM
subsystem dieing at just the wrong times, and general Linux type
lifestyle), I had enough. So I went back to FreeBSD. I figured I'd
seen something about ext2 support, so I wouldn't bother moving all the
ogg stuff to a backup machine. 6 gig takes a while to copy over a
wireless network.
