It really is not very clear what you are trying to do. My impression is that you are trying to transfer a backup file from a linux system to a FBSD system, but later want to return it to the linux system. But why do you wish to store it under an ext3fs on FBSD rather than a ufs or ufs2 system? Does your FBSD ext3fs partition have enough space? Is it really possible to have a ext3fs mount under FBSD 5.3? I know you can mount an ext2fs file system and an existing linux ext3fs will probably mount successfully (without journaling) as an ext2fs; but is this what are you trying to do? How are you transfering the file from the linux box to the FBSD box? You provide very little information on what you are really trying to do? Malcolm
