[-- Attachment #1 --] I am interested in converting my Linux file server over to FreeBSD 4. The primary motivation is stability, particularly Samba. I have been experiencing kernel panics under load when I write to Samba shares. Reads are not affected, and FTP/NFS traffic doesn't seem to bother it either. Unfortunately, Samba is a critical function of this machine, and this instability is quite irritating. Unfortunately, all of the volumes are mounted as ext2. Is there a way to get BSD to read/write ext2 volumes? I eventually plan to migrate over to a native file system, especially once I recreate the RAID, but I would like to simply mount my existing single volumes rather than go through the mess of a tape backup. Thanks, Seth Henry jshenry@net-noise.com [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am interested in converting my Linux file server over to FreeBSD 4.
