You have two choices: One: put it on a file system that both Linux and FreeBSD understand. As far as I know, that's either ext2 or fat32. I don't recommend that, as you'll take a performance hit in doing so, and may take a stability hit as well. The other alternative is to save the data in an archive on a different disk. Then reformat the ext3 file system as ffs under freebsd, and extract the archive into it. Tar would be the unix archive format, but bzip2 will probably take less space. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
