@youshi10: yeah, I'm aware that MacOSX supports for unix, but at the time that we transfered the data to the hdd we didn't know which server was gonna be running the hdd... Fat32 was the only FS that we know would be compatible with any OS (but we didn't know of the size limit) so if the server had been a Windows 2003 server, I don't think I would have had any chance of opening that FS (unless 3rd party software if there is any) Anyways, here is the info that Reid asked for. 1: I updated the ports tree following the instructions of freebsd wiki 2: I recompiled the kernel following the instructions of freebsd wiki: cp /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/BASTION /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/BASTION2 vim /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/BASTION2 added option MSDOSFS_LARGE cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=BASTION2 make installkernel KERNCONF=BASTION2 reboot 3: uname -a: FreeBSD bastion 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #2L Mon May 21 00:30:39 PDT 2007 rem@bastion:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BASTION2 i386 4: iffconfig -a: bastion# ifconfig -a rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> atalk 65280.205 range 0-65534 phase 2 broadcast 0.255 ether 00:e0:18:8d:10:8f media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active fwe0: flags=108802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> ether 0a:00:46:29:6f:02 ch 1 dma -1 plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 atalk 0.0 range 0-0 phase 2 Also, I think my network card that shows up took the place of the otherone, in other words, rl1 is now rl0 and rl1 is gone... I don't know if that just changed cos it can't find the other network card.
