Re: INTERFACING WITH NTFS

[Parker Brown]

Thanks, Jerry.  I've got plenty of disk space and this is probably what I'll 
end up doing.  At the moment I'm following up on fusefs-ntfs port, and 
hoping that will work first.

This was just discussed on the list late last week.
Yes, FreeBSD can read, but (for the most part) does not write
to NTFS at this point in time.   There are a couple of ports that
claim to write to NTFS.  I haven't tried them.

When I dual boot with MS-NTFS, I actually squeeze the NTFS slice down
just a little further and make a couple or so GB slice in FAT32 that
I can read and write from both FreeBSD and Microsloth.   That means I
am using up 3 rather than 2 slices when dual booting that combination;
NTFS, FAT32, FreeBSD.

I don't know if work is being done to make standard FreeBSD write NTFS.
Search the recent questions archive for the recent exchanges.

COPYING DATA TO NTFS

[Parker Brown]

Using the FreeBSD booter to manage both Windoz XP and FreeBSD 6.1 on the same 
SCSI drive.  Under FreeBSD I've got XP mounted, and I've been able to examine 
the XP directories, but when I try to copy data or the contents of directories 
from FreeBSD to XP.  Usingcp -R   format, nothing copies, and I get error 
messages that the target files don't exist. 

Is FreeBSD not capable of copying to NTFS?

Please help!

Sound on a Turtle Beach card

[Parker Brown]

I've got a Turtle Beach Montego A3D sound card in my aging machine, and
it emulates Creative Labs SoundBlaster, but I  haven't been able to get
BSD to recognize it.  Turtle Beach isn't mentioned in the docs, and I
wonder whether I'm out of luck trying to get it to work.

Has anyone had any luck with such a sound card?

Screen Saver Setup

Trying to load a screen saver.  I've set /etc/rc.conffor it (see

and   kldstatdoesn't indicate that it has loaded.  How come?

Problem Installing Mosaic

[Parker Brown]

Makefile seems to be compromised in /usr/ports/www/Mosiac.  I get:
make: fatal errors encountered Makefile line 30

make also complains about lines 33 and 35.  How can I correct it?
