Linux has a problem with certain extended partitions (i.e. if you delete the first one, it doesn't see anything after that). While I'm working with partitions, I also want to be able to recognize bsd disk slices as several devices (and perhaps port a ffs driver to linux). (I already hacked up the linux fdisk to recognize bsd partitions). Can the swap space for bsd be shared by bsd/windows/linux? There's a strategy for sharing swap space on linux/windows... Also, is there interest in getting an ext2 driver on freebsd (to read linux partitions). I think the key to running multiple OSes is easy interoptability (even if the drivers are only read only). marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
