How about reading / writing from/to Linux > partitions from FreeBSD? Last time I tried work with FreeBSD partitions on linux, it worked. I would try it again, after backing up... however, looking again at /boot/config-2.6.8-3-686, writing is not allowed in debian kernels: CONFIG_UFS_FS=m # CONFIG_UFS_FS_WRITE is not set > > > Anyways, keeping my fingers crossed.

Does it help? the fact that fdisk can create partition marked as FreeBSD, and fact that fdisk can create FreeBSD disklabel on such partition, does not mean that the kernel can do that. However using: "dmesg | grep hdb" should tell you if your kernel recognizes it... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
