Hello everybody! I am a debian user, I have been for 4 years. I am migrating to freebsd and, of course, there are a lot of things I must learn (I am used to reading lot of documentation, so please dont hesitate in giving me links to documentation :) ). My "problem" now is that I would like to mount my reiserfs paritions from freebsd. I have found a driver to mount those partitions as read-only (I dont have the link here :( ), but I have not tried the driver myself. Does anyone know a way to mount a reiserfs partition from freebsd? To write in one of those partitions? Well, happy to be here! Best Regards, Maxi -- Plantalta random fortune: Un microprocesador, por dentro, es como una ciudad del futuro. (Ing. Pablo Ferreira)

To > write in one of those partitions?This read-only driver and its documentation might be the only way. The ReiserFS filesystem support was commited to the -CURRENT development branch recently. If you are not interested in development or testing then banish the thought of ReiserFS support. Bj?rn

Then create a new UFS2 filesystem (FreeBSD's native format) and restore the backup. I think this would be less hassle than trying experimental drivers. :-) Roland -- R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It doesn't have write support. -- Jean-S?bastien P?dron http://www.dumbbell.fr/ PGP Key: http://www.dumbbell.fr/pgp/pubkey.asc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
