Yes, it does. It treats it as an ext2 partition. (It doesn't, however, mount Reiser, at least last time I checked.) So, first you have to recompile your kernel. Let's say you're just using the GENERIC kernel (I don't know how familiar you are with this, so if this is stuff you already know, forgive me. Also, of course, if you've already compiled a custom kernel, substitute that kernel's name for GENERIC) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf open GENERIC with your favorite text editor and add this line (you can simply add it at the end options EXT2FS Save it and now config GENERIC You'll see something like source is ../../compile/GENERIC Don't forget to do make depend So, cd ../../compile/GENERIC make depend && make && make install Reboot Now, you can mount your Linux partition with mount_ext2fs /dev/<linux partition> (Whatever slice is holding your Linux partition HTH Scott Robbins > > Thanks in advance... > AHussain. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
