Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 08:32:36 -0600 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.0.28] Content-Type: text/plain MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <99113008411700.01232@fdho-w5.fdnet.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Yesterday as I was saving some data from a then corrupt NT installation (The data was not corrupt, something with the configuration wouldn't allow NT to boot ) I mounted my NTFS drive under FreeBSD 3.1. I started a pax -rw of the volume onto /usr/tmp and some time into the copy the machine simply rebooted. Once the machine came back up I scanned for any logged errors and checked available drive space. There was plenty of free space and no errors were logged. Is mount_ntfs that unstable or could it be something else? On a similar note, I was mounting MSDOS floppies to try and get a working boot disk. Upon copying a file to the mounted floppy the machine hung completely. Is this also a known problem or is this normal behavior? (I realize there are MSDOS utilities in /usr/ports but cp felt doable 8) Tony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
