Everything works. I have formated it with ext2 file system, so that I can share file with linux. But the problem is that it is very slow compared to linux. When I transfered some files under linux the speed of the transfer is somewhere around 10MB/s but under freebsd (5-1p10) it is not more than 1MB/s :( Is it running in USB1 mode? Can I make it run faster? Thanks for your help. Ivan
