I have done many searches and it has all lead me back to this bug report. It looks like any data be transferred to a FAT32 partition either copying to it from FreeBSD its self or copying to it using a samba share seems to corrupt the data. I can read from it fine but not put data on it. Here is the link to the bug report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/39043 And a link for another report: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2004-June/034629.html I am using FreeBSD stable release 5.2.1 and I can't believe this bug is still around. I have seen reports back from 1999. I would imagine that this would be a pretty important issue to fix, especially because people are trying to find a good platform to migrate from a windows network to a totally unix one. I would really like to use FreeBSD over Linux but if I don't have this capability it's almost impossible. I know UFS will work with samba but I am trying to have to portability of the FAT32 files system. If anyone has any status update on this bug I would be very happy to hear it, or if there is any schedule to work on it, that would be nice too. Thanks a lot Austin
