Re: Shared Partitions?
Okay so using a FAT partition is not a good idea. What about the other way around. Share /home/ for Windows XP to access. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is because FAT doesn't support users and groups (or permissions for that matter) so the mount has to have everything owned by one user/group. Thus it won't work as a /home partition because each /home/ directory should be owned by the user. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Shared Partitions?
I have a Fat32 partition that I use to share files between Windows and FreeBSD. I have it mounted on /home and when it mounts the owner of all the files is root and the group is wheel. Is there a way to change that so it acts like a normal home partition? In other words the individual directories and files are owned by the user etc. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
