Hi, I am under the assumption that a Filesystem created on big endian machine cant be read on little endian machine and vice versa. However I am able to mount FAT formatted(on Windows PC) USB flash drive on FreeBSD(PowerPC - BigEndian) and able to view contents of a text file. I am not able to locate FS code where it does the byte conversion. Can somebody kindly point me the code? Or my assumption is wrong? Thanks Samuel
