During my first (and only) testing session, I wasn't able to mount the md(4) device after I created it. Further, after a few attempts each time, vdfuse would segfault. Image was form Windows XP 32-bit (1 Partition, NTFS). I'm in the process of rebuilding my system ATM (kernel, world, and ports), but I will test further when I'm back up again... -Brandon _______________________________________________ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
