Re: INTERFACING WITH NTFS
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.

If you need write access to NTFS i'd recommend using the fusefs-ntfs port. This needs to install fusefs-kmod which requires the kernel sources which you can install via sysinstall if you havent. regards, Vince Parker Brown ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
