Mounting and Unmounting Filesystems from Other Operating Systems
This is all well and good for standard FreeBSD filesystems. But what if you need to mount a disk from a Linux box, or from a Windows 98 or NT machine? You can do that. FreeBSD supports the following filesystems in the GENERIC (default) kernel (see Table 9.2).
| Filesystem | Name |
|---|---|
| FFS | Berkeley Fast Filesystem |
| MFS | Memory Filesystem |
| NFS | Network Filesystem |
| MSDOSFS | MS-DOS Filesystem |
| CD9660 | ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) Filesystem |
| PROCFS | Process Filesystem |
