Yes, there is, and it even isn't a file system. It's tar. You can easily create a tar archive and transfer it from device to device, maybe using a "transfer hard disk". I know this sounds stupid, but it works. The disk just needs to be formatted, it can be a hard disk, an optical disc, even an USB thumb drive, or a floppy disk. Doesn't matter. Just format it. Then: % tar cvf /dev/<device> <yourstuff> on the source OS. On the target OS, simply run this command: % tar xvf /dev/<device> I could employ this method successfully to transfer data between different UNIXens and Linusi. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
