My email, for example, is stored on Win2k's C: drive. My mail agent is VM in emacs, which stores messages in a platform- independent format. It is equally easy to access my email from whichever OS is booted: Windows, Linux, or (when I solve my irq problem) FreeBSD. Since I'm the only one that uses my machine and it's behind a separate firewall, I don't need the protection NTFS offers. -Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

But I wouldn't trust write-enabling an NTFS file system. I have serious doubts whether NTFS on NT, 2000 and XP is the *same* from an interface perspective. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
