Linux shares the Windows data partition UUID if I'm not mistaken. Thus, any non-broken software should keep the FreeBSD partitions alone, unless they have UFS1 and UFS2 support and explicitly know about the FreeBSD UUIDs. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
