Thanks guys, this is perfect. According to the newfs manpages, you can specify a filesystem type (-O) and a disktype (-T) for "backward compatibility." It further appears that -O can only designate either UFS1 or UFS2. I don't quite know what the -T option designates; i.e., back compatible with "what"? (I ask about the -O and -T options becase I would like to use this harddrive on both my FreeBSD and my linux machine.) Thanks, Daniel
