I ended up reformatting the disk to have a 200g (I think?) partition formatted to fat32 and the reset as a ext3 partition for linux use. I'd have to do some verification to be sure it all works nicely (since I put it on my linux machine, I've had no use to pull it back off), but I can add all the files I'd like to either partition on linux and access the fat 32 from various windows hosts. -- Even the Magic 8 ball has an opinion on email clients: Outlook not so good. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
