I believe all the BSDs use the Fast File System* (ffs). But that shouldn't be a problem for want you want to do - at least not from the BSD side of things. You just need to specify what Type of file system /home is in your /etc/fstab file. I'd be very surprised if Linux couldn't mount a FFS partition. see mount(8) and mount_ext2fs(8) in your version of BSD. * as others have pointed out, FFS isn't exactly the fastest FS out there. You can speed things up quite a bit by enabling soft dependences (softdep); see mount(8). -Beaker -- [ SiMpLe MaChInEs ] --> gopher://beaker.mdns.org or (via proxy) http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw.lite?gopher://beaker.mdns.org:70/1 _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
