I thought most linux systems could mount 'ufs' file systems; perhaps not 'ufs2' so you might need to be specific in creating the file system. Malcolm Kay Yes - but linux is READ-ONLY for UFS2. Even the older UFS write access is marked dangerous. So I'm not keen on using it.

Richard, Hmmm - that works! Thanks very much ... ... but given that solution, I would have thought that route add -host 192.168.2.214 -interface rl0 -cloning would also work, but it doesn't. Back to the man pages for me!! Interesting how seemingly similar but subtly different FreeBSD can be, at least in this example. I wonder which behaviour of route, FreeBSD or Linux, is more strictly correct, if there such a thing as a correct behaviour - without starting a trawl, of course! Thanks again!

Under Linux I just do a route add -host 192.168.2.214 eth0 and I can ping it. On FreeBSD I tried both route add -host 192.168.2.214 192.168.254.245 route add -host 192.168.2.214 -interface rl0 but I'm getting some kind of redirect loop. Apparently my use of the FreeBSD route command is wrong. Hello Bob, welcome to FreeBSD. I won't expect that this will work at all, even not with Linux, because the IP 192.168.254.245 and 192.168.2.214 are of different subnets. Either you use 192.168.254.0/24 or 192.168.2.0/24 in the 10baseT net, but not both. I don't know if Linux makes it possible to do this; I haven't tried it yet. At least I can reproduce your error message with a similar setup. Just assign the IP 192.168.2.245 to rl0 for example; then it should work without problems. Regards Björn Hi Björn I know it looks a bit odd, but Linux is perfectly happy with it. I've relied on it every day for the last 6 years or so. The reason I'm doing it this way is that I have machines at work on the 192.168.2.0/24 network that I access from home over openvpn. So I can't grab 192.168.2 at home. But I always bring home one of many different machines - they're already configured to 192.168.2.214. It's so convenient to be able to access all of 192.168.2 over openvpn _except_ for the one machine 192.168.2.214. It's just a bit of a fag to re-configure each machine for home use - particularly as it could be freebsd, linux (x 4 distros), Solaris, AIX, SCO OS5, SCO UW7, HPUX etc etc and they all configure in different ways. Oh well. Thanks very much for confirming it - at least I can stop scouring the man pages google - I learned a lot on the way. I must say I like FreeBSD very much - very stable drivers compared to Linux whose wifi drivers seem to hang the system quite a lot. That's the main reason I'm trying to make the move to FreeBSD - my wifi connection goes about twice as fast (4-5 Mbps on FreeBSD vs 1-2 Mbps with Linux) and is _much_ more stable.
