Me too. And Windows 2000.

Right now I use a FAT32 partition for sharing information among the three OSs
This solution sucks, because of the missing access control to that partition.
On the other hand is has not caused me any problems so far.
If we look at sharing a partition just between Linux and FreeBSD, we
have can use a native format from either side:
1. use ext2fs for the sharing partiion, no problems from Linux,
perhaps problems from FreeBSD, because the ext2fs fs driver
in the FreeBSD kernel might be buggy
2. use FreeBSD's UFS format for the sharing partition, no
problems from FreeBSD, perhaps problems from the UFS driver
in the Linux kernel.
You tried 1., I am trying 2. these days.
The command looks like this under Linux:
mount /dev/hda10 /mnt/freebsd/usr -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd
By the way, anyone tried the NTFS drivers in Linux or FreeBSD?

Marc
