If you're building from the ports, try the svn version from: https://svn.bluelife.at/index.cgi/blueports It's already version 4.0.2 there. > I realize NTFS on fBSD has been shaky in the past, but had heard it had > come a long way these days.

Didn't mean to look like that. The only reason I mentioned it is because it's exactly the way I've been using. I have triple boot system. BSD AMD64, XP32 and Win7 64 and the IFS driver works flawlessly on both windows, and all 3 Vboxes accessing the same VDIs. Because of that, I believe I may have got carried away by saying "any win version". regards, -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio....
