So how do I mount them in say /home dir? And then use Samba to share those? And can I set permissions and ownership of each sub directory within the /home/backup mount?? mount_msdos -l /dev/ad2s1 /home, or whatever drive it is. 5_) I have one UFS? Default Freebsd drive mounted in /home/www for the web server. Just wondering if that's a good place to have it or should I mount it somewhere else? yes, UFS. that place is perfectly find for your web root. - -Adam - -- Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw. -Lilo, Lilo Stitch Adam Weinberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9qdXwo8KM2ULHQ/0RAuUqAKC+r1Ipj8scXdXaRvWSXWypDlv5dQCdF3pm 3NZ+qnJdAD3CsdyUXui4Fw4= =IuQQ -END PGP SIGNATURE- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I've never tried mounting a Windoze HDD in a FBSD box, can't think of why I'd want to See: man mount_msdos Useful for dual-boot situations where you want to read data files on other partitions. And other things too, of course. I can't see why the OP would use it in that situation, and can think of good reasons *not* to use it. FFS is native to FreeBSD and is less likely to get screwed up than FAT even if FAT were native. I've not benchmarked it, but I'll bet FFS is faster as well. Through Samba or FTP, the clients won't know the difference. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
