Make a FAT32 primary partition if you want FreeBSD to be able to write as well as read the space. Remember that only 4 primary partitions / slices can be made and each thing will require one of them eg maybe Slice 1 = MS, 2 = FAT32, Linux = 3, FreeBSD = 4 might work. I have never done any testing writing/reading FAT32 from FreeBSD. It seems not to have any delays. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
