I am wholly unfamiliar with mdntfs, so I'll assume you meant to type ntfs. In any case, you probably have to mount it read-only (unless you install sysutils/fusefs-ntfs) as FreeBSD does not support writing to ntfs by default. Fat32 is still the only viable solution for (nearly) full portability. -- -- _______________________________________________ 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"
