I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have files that are common to
both (MP3's and some documents). Is there a way to create a partition that can be
read by both that would eliminate this double copy problem?
I thought creating a separate partition woudl work but Windows XP
I am pretty sure the only way to do this is to have a FAT32 partition.
I have not done this on FreeBSD but while playing with Xandros Linux
I was able to get read/write access using a FAT partition.

I also believe that you need a fat32 slice.It would be accessable
by both systems.
I currently dual boot Windos 98 and FreeBSD 5.2.1. The only thing i
do is create first a primary dos and extend partition using a DOS FDISK
and FOMAT and so,
mount -t msdos /dev/ados1 /mnt/c
mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt/d
mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s6 /mnt/e
and even
mount /dev/ad0s7

FAT32 may be the only solution
and reboot.
After finding nothing on the on the forums I finally moved the distfiles to
a new drive which I formatted with the FreeBSD ufs filesystem. VOILA!! No
more problems.
So it seems that FreeBSD support for ext2fs is at fault.

Any thoughts?
SOMETIMES no file system is the best file system. E.g., by putting
a raw file on a partition with dd, cat, or , maybe with the
raw file being a .pax, .tgz, or other archive file. Creative use
of dd options should permit multiple files per partition but I've
only ever used a
