Re: Shared Partition?
I am pretty sure the only way to do this is to have a FAT32 partition. I have not done this on FreeBSD but while playing with Xandros Linux I was able to get read/write access using a FAT partition.

I also believe that you need a fat32 slice.It would be accessable by both systems. jerry On Thu, 17 Jun 2004 10:27:34 -0400, Tom Moyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1.

Re: Shared Partition?
I currently dual boot Windos 98 and FreeBSD 5.2.1. The only thing i do is create first a primary dos and extend partition using a DOS FDISK and FOMAT and so, mount -t msdos /dev/ados1 /mnt/c mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt/d mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s6 /mnt/e and even mount /dev/ad0s7 Some time ago, when a tried to make that using fdisk and newfs_msdos nothing works only ad0s7. Hope that helps. I currently dual boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have files that are common to both (MP3's and some documents).

FAT32 may be the only solution if you need read/write-access from both systems, but for stuff like mp3, it may suffice to mount your Windows NTFS-partition read-only. FreeBSD can do that with mount_ntfs(8). I have setup such a thing for someone. Read/write-access to a shared FAT32-partition, and read-only acces to a Win2k NTFS-partition. No problem whatsoever.
