It depends. I can not comment upon the quality of the ext2fs part of FreeBSD, but the linuxulator itself will not destroy anything. Theoretically it can be the case that a sloppy programmed (linux-)tool may destroy some data if it wants to use something which does not work, but in this case I would say it is the fault of the tool to not check for errors... Or let's say it differently: if it destroys something, you should have played Lotto instead of doing whatever you did... ;-) Bye, Alexander. -- http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID = B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID = 72077137 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
