FreeBSD et al. have there own file system called | Fast File System (FFS, aka Unix File System UFS) and FreeBSD 5.x uses | UFS 2. if you use anything other then UFS your probly asking for trubble. | | just did a quick search(1) and it says that ext3 is backwards compatible | with ext2 so you should be looking for info on Ext2 and FreeBSD, witch | another quick search brings this up: | | The Linux+FreeBSD mini-HOWTO: | http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+FreeBSD.html | MOUNT_EXT2FS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual | http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_ext2fs&sektion=8 | | (1) | http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=f2624885971d2646b28e56bf1256761c&goto=lastpost&threadid=11362 | | | _______________________________________________ | freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies | To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" | | | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFASK8Xkt6kXuDr+LcRAsvLAJ9qKttjXK2qQKVrI9PSShbJq4sJpQCeNNqy SaPLXdq0BNDI9waylrvJKDY= =go5B -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
